In Russia’s latest swipe at foreign social media giants since it started a land war in Europe by invading Ukraine late last month, the country’s internet censor has fired a warning shot at Google over what it describes as anti-Russian “information attacks” which it claims are being spread via YouTube — accusing the U.S. tech giant of being engaged in acts “of a terrorist nature” by allowing ads on the video-sharing platform to be used to threaten Russian citizens.
In a statement posted on its website today, Roskomnadzor claims YouTube has been serving targeted ads that call for people to disable railway links between Russia and Belarus.
“The actions of the YouTube administration are of a terrorist nature and threaten the life and health of Russian citizens,” the regulator wrote [translated from Russian with machine translation].
“The spread of such appeals clearly demonstrates the anti-Russian position of the American company Google LLC,” it added.
YouTube could not immediately be reached for comment on the warning from Roskomnadzor.
The direct warning to Google from the state internet censor could be a precursor to Russia blocking access to YouTube.
