West is manipulating people with YouTube, stated Maria Zakharova, official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in an interview with FAN. The publication recalls that after February 24, video hosting began to remove content, and bloggers in the Russian Federation began to block their channels with millions of viewers and limit monetization. At the same time, the platform keeps anti-Russian videos “on top”.
“This is the domain of Western manipulation,” said Zakharova.
According to him, Russia needs its own video hosting, which in quality and convenience will not be inferior to YouTube, so that citizens of the country can get high-quality content, but without anti-Russian rhetoric.
Previously Zakharova on the Telegram channel commented An article in the American edition of The Hill that states that the high level of freedom and permissiveness on the internet can support the growth of anti-Semitism in the United States. According to him, the “culture of cancellation” is particularly effective in promoting the penetration of xenophobia into society.
