The company also stated that they would remove the content about the “special operation” of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, for violating the hosting policy: “Our community principles prohibit the content in which they are denied, are understood, trivialized well-documented events related to violence. Now we delete content On the invasion of Russia to Ukraine, which violates this policy.
In accordance with this, we also block access to channels associated with state-owned Russian media, worldwide, including in Europe. These changes come into force immediately, and we expect our systems to recover. “
