RT videos spreading Ukraine disinformation on YouTube despite ban – report

The platform banned the Russia-controlled publication last year for its Ukraine falsehoods, but its content is still posted on various channels

Hundreds of videos produced by the Russia-controlled publication RT have found their way on to YouTube in the past year, despite the platform's ban of such media last year.

YouTube, which is owned by Google, banned all Russian state-funded media from its platform globally in March 2022, citing a policy barring content that denies, minimizes or trivializes well-documented violent events" as Russia sought to guide the narrative on its war in Ukraine.
