YouTube is blocking access around the world to channels associated with Russian state-funded media, the company said on Friday, 11 March.

"Our Community Guidelines prohibit content denying, minimizing or trivialising well-documented violent events, and we remove content about Russia's invasion in Ukraine that violates this policy," spokesman Farshad Shadloo said, in a statement.

"In line with that, effective immediately, we are also blocking YouTube channels associated with Russian state-funded media, globally," he added.
