YouTube has removed the channel of Scott Ritter, the main foreign “expert” on Russian propaganda, a former U.S. intelligence officer who was convicted of pedophilia.
The propagandist will now appear on Solovyov’s program. Writing on X (formerly known as Twitter), Ritter stated that his channel, ‘The Scott Ritter Show’, through which he attempted to “import Russian voices to an American/Western audience,” had been flagged for ‘hate speech’ and taken down without prior warning or any specific examples of the offense.
On March 11, the administration of the American video hosting YouTube, which is owned by Google, announced that it would immediately block the channels of Russian state-funded media.
The company will also remove all content about Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine that “violates its policy.”
“There was never any hate speech involved in any of the episodes of ‘The Scott Ritter Show’, unless one views unique content from silenced voices hateful,” Ritter said, calling the move “the latest in a series of actions by YouTube to silence Russian voices.”
“[This] represents the living manifestation of the disease of Russophobia which has swept America and US-based social media platforms,” he wrote.
