The Russian telecommunications regulator threatened to block YouTube if it does not lift the suspension of RT's accounts in Germany, which the Kremlin labeled as censorship. YouTube suspended the accounts for violating community rules by spreading false information about COVID-19. RT attempted to bypass a video upload ban by using another channel.
