#12That is crossing a line. In free societies we should be able to hear different sides.
If this is censorship, I agree. If it’s simply restricting their access and freezing their resources, it’s fine. This is war.

#13I got: > 403 - Forbidden . That’s an error. Client does not have access rights to the content so server is rejecting to give proper response. That’s all we know. (France, no VPN) edit: it works when connected from a datacenter (from France)
Works for me, on a residential connection.

Are you serious to suggesting we should hear from Putin's personal media outlets for a source on unbiased news coverage?
A sincere question, How do you feel about Hitler and the 3rd Reich, did they deserve more outlets also?
Both sources are controlled by Putin's Government and have been instructed to restrict Invasion/War and hinder coverage of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine.

GP didn't say anything about unbiased. RT has literally "Russia" in the name, so I don't think anyone expects them to be paragons of neutrality for the present situation.

RF is not a free society. Their media spokes what their leader allows them to spoke. They have multibillion budget every year dedicated to produce fakes and FUD.
