Twitter restricted in Russia amid conflict with Ukraine
The question has to be asked if Russian State friendly media (like RT.com) which keeps disseminating RU propaganda on twitter, and has been influential in pushing "alternative narratives" needs to be made harder to access for people. There is certainly an asymmetry when RT gets to continue shaping the narrative in the West, while Russians at home are unable to access that same service. The least that should be done is disallowing them from broadcasting as long as Russians are also unable to access services.<p>Twitter labels all tweets as state sponsored already but they should do more. Not giving them a platform in the first place would be a good idea. Requiring the viewing of each and every tweet of these outfits by having to consent would be another hurdle. Make it so hard to engage that users simply won't be bothered to interact or share.<p>I don't have answers other than immediately shutting down these companies posing as journalistic outfits because they aren't journalists when they blatantly do Putin's bidding.
