Russia Today YouTube account blockedScreengrab/YouTube
The YouTube channel of state-funded Russia Today news outlet has been suspended due to "multiple or severe violations" of the site's policy one day after the outcome of the Crimea independence referendum.

A statement on the channel's account reads: "This account has been suspended due to multiple or severe violations of YouTube's policy against spam, gaming, misleading content or other Terms of Service violations".

Russia Today said the same thing happened exactly two years ago and "it took several hours to bring RT's YouTube channel back online".

In 2012, the channel was kept offline for about eight hours. YouTube said it was a mistake and apologised for the incident.

"As a world leading news producer on YouTube we value timely information and regret the service fail to the half-million people logging on this morning. We look forward to clearing this up ASAP," said RT's head of social media Ivor Crotty.

Russia Today has been criticised for its passionate bias towards president Putin.

An English-language network aimed at a global audience, RT broadcasts news, documentaries and talk show with a strong pro-Russian stance.

In its coverage of the Crimea invasion, RT repeated the official Kremlin line about troops being local self-defence forces.[/URL]

Youtube is owned by Google, which is one of the US govt's most servile cyber-mercenaries. It's not entirely unexpected.

Looks like Russia is beginning to live the same things as Iran

Not true, i can express as i want

Apparently after the temporary suspension of RT on YouTube, MANY videos on RT has been deleted including Julian Assange, Guantanamo Bay, etc.

The mass murdering Yankee fascist terrorists are going mental as RT has exposed all the dirt on Yankees.

RT and Presstv are the best for exposing murderous Yankee thuggery.

 

[BigDaddyWatch]

With Press TV and RT the Americans and the West are just getting a taste of their own medicine.

Ironically the unofficial Google Moto is "don't be Evil"

I'am quite surprized, i trusted youtube and google for their unpartial policy

Maybe they are revealing their true nature now that they are strong enough

Information Technology, Russia
RT’s YouTube channel, which in June last year became the first-ever TV news channel to reach 1 billion views, experienced a temporary shutdown of services on Tuesday, exactly two years after a similar incident.

Google Russia has apologized after a ‘technical mistake’ suspended RT’s YouTube channel Tuesday.

"Access to RT was blocked due to a technical error. The problem has now been resolved, and the channel reopened to users," said a statement from the company's Russian office.

Viewers attempting to access the RT YouTube channel were denied access and told: “This account has been suspended due to multiple or severe violations of YouTube's policy against spam, gaming, misleading content, or other Terms of Service violations.”

Front end services were suspended from around 0700 GMT until shortly before 1000 GMT.

The back end administration became accessible at 1700 GMT.

A similar incident, exactly two years ago, kept RT’s YouTube channel offline for about eight hours. YouTube confirmed then it was their mistake and apologized for the incident.

Head of Social Media at RT Ivor Crotty added "As a world leading news producer on YouTube we value timely information and regret the service fail to the half-million people logging on this morning. We look forward to full functionality to this key channel in due course."

RT began broadcasting in 2005 – the same year YouTube came online – disrupting broadcast news media consensus and creating a savvy online viewer community.
