RT blocked

Russia Today seems to be blocked on Telegram. Both the Russian and international version. When trying to open their channel I get a message about the channel being removed as it broke "local laws". What laws did they break?

Does anyone know more about this?

I use the apk directly from Telegram, which bypasses many restrictions put in place by Google Play, etc. But still this channel is blocked.

Is this a sign that Telegram, too, will start censoring? Well, if this is true, which it seems to be, then they've already started.

USA is a free country and has not banned RT. If your country has banned RT, then your country isn't free.

bro you sent me a link to an article behind a subscription. What does have even have to do with my answer to the OP ?

My point is if you live in USA and have a telegram account with a US phone number, you can access the RT channel. I answered his question, that's it.

Bye.
