Russian streaming service Yandex Music has removed a podcast by independent news outlet Mediazona dubbed “Khuy Voyne” (“Fuck War”) on request of censorship agency Roskomnadzor.
“In accordance with the Russian law, we must restrict user access to the indicated content on our service,” Yandex Music told Mediazona. In April, the streaming service removed a podcast produced by BBC Russian “Chto eto bylo?” (“What happened?”), where reporters discuss the war in Ukraine every day since February 24.
Another Russian streaming platform Soundstream removed a podcast by Russian independent news outlet Holod after a notice from Roskomnadzor saying that the podcast contains false information on the war in Ukraine.
Earlier, the Yandex search engine stopped showing links to the websites of Meduza, Mediazona, The Village and other news outlets blocked in Russia.
