Facebook (including Instagram), YouTube, and TikTok have completely banned Russian media outlets like Russia Today and Sputnik throughout the European Union.<\/p>\n<p>An analysis by the\u00a0<em>New York Times<\/em> found that videos with the hashtag #Ukrainewar received almost 500 million views on TikTok, with many videos gaining close to one million likes. In comparison to TikTok, the #Ukrainewar hashtag on Instagram had 125,000 posts and the most popular videos on Instagram\u2019s platform had tens of thousands of views.<\/p>\n<p>TikTok\u2019s disabling of livestreams and video uploads from Russia is considered a risky move as it may prevent ordinary Russian citizens from spreading independent information that doesn\u2019t align with the Russian government\u2019s stance on the war in Ukraine. Russian journalists have stated that there could be negative consequences if tech platforms are blocked in Russia and may prevent the dissemination of accurate information.<\/p>\n<p>Read more at the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/03\/06\/technology\/tiktok-russia-ukraine.html\"><em>New York Times<\/em> here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><i>Lucas Nolan is a reporter for Breitbart News covering issues of free speech and online censorship.
