YouTube has blocked three videos on military service evasion from the channels “Dozor in Volgograd”, “Conscript School” and another independent regional media outlet in Russia. The video hosting also notified about the threat of blocking the channel “OVD-Info”, which may be the first case of blocking an entire channel. YouTube has not blocked opposition content at the request of the Russian authorities before, a cybersecurity expert who wished to remain unnamed told the Agency (a Russian opposition-controlled media outlet).
