Does the EU's ban on RT also ban Tor?
No. You have misunderstood.<p>For starters, it&#x27;d be hard to argue that RT is &quot;operating&quot; within the EU if the only way to access their content was via TOR. It&#x27;s not; you can still just view their website as far as my colleagues are telling me.<p>The thing that&#x27;s being denied here is their ability to operating business and broadcast - already a very highly regulated thing in most (all?) countries, within EU borders. In practical terms this means having to access RT servers probably outside of the EU, broadcast signals can&#x27;t be sent within it for that channel, etc.<p>The internet is not broadcasting.<p>Were this intended to stop people from viewing it online as well, it would specifically call out RT as Illegal content in some way, so as to invoke one of the possible reasons to actually block their website.[1]<p><pre><code>   EU rules on open internet give you the right as a user to access and&#x2F;or distribute any online content and services you choose. Your internet provider cannot block, slow down or discriminate against any online content, applications or services, except in 3 specific cases:

   - to comply with legal obligations, such as a court order blocking specific illegal content
   - to preserve the security and integrity of the network, for example to combat viruses or malware
   - to manage exceptional or temporary network congestion
