MOSCOW: Russia’s Union of Journalists on March 24 accused YouTube of “censorship” and called for punitive measures, as fears mount that the US company maybe next in line for a ban in Russia.

“Biased moderation and open censorship by digital platforms must have consequences in accordance with the norms of the Russian law,” the Interfax news agency quoted the head of Russia’s Union of Journalists Vladimir Solovyev as saying.
