Russia said it was developing plans to ban YouTube after its state-backed broadcaster RT had its German-language channels removed for COVID-19 misinformation.

YouTube banned two of RT’s German-language channels on Tuesday, saying the broadcaster had breached the platform’s terms of service. Russia said it was developing plans to pursue “symmetrically retaliatory measures” against YouTube and German media over the ban, according to a Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs press release Wednesday.
