LOS ANGELES: Reddit has banned users from posting links to Kremlin-affiliated outlets such as RT and Sputnik, joining a growing number of Internet companies in blocking Russian state media amid that country’s attack on Ukraine.

“While many communities on Reddit already prohibited links to Russian state media outlets like RT, Sputnik, and their foreign-language affiliates, we have made such restrictions universal across the site in all geographies,” Reddit said in a statement.
