Russian authorities have begun slowing down YouTube , silencing opposition voices, and cutting off access to a vast array of nonpolitical content.
This follows the earlier blocking of Facebook and Instagram , both owned by Meta , which Russian authorities labeled as extremist organizations.
Experts warn that the Kremlin may soon escalate from slowing YouTube to a complete nationwide ban.
The situation with YouTube remains uncertain, but most popular shows have already shifted to the alternative platform VKontakte.
The Russian government widely believes VK is under significant influence and control.
“The fact that they are cutting us off from the world now makes me feel like we are sliding to North Korea ,” Christina Klimarev said.
