Google Maps has provided free access to satellite images of Russian military facilities. Now visual information about the military infrastructure of the Russian Federation can fall into the hands of the Ukrainian armed forces.
In the past, the Americans have opened access to such high-quality images of Russian facilities in Syria, which allowed Washington to avoid responsibility for the direct transfer of classified data to terrorists.
On the one hand, Google makes it possible to distribute images that should be closed to public access. On the other hand, the YouTube video hosting owned by this company blocks the channels of Russian state media, which include the branches of VGTRK: Krasnodar, Stavropol, Bashkortostan, Kuzbass, Novosibirsk and Vainakh in Chechnya.
Roskomnadzor demanded that the Western company stop the vicious practice of blocking the channels of the state mass media of Russia. Such actions violate the principles of free dissemination of information and access to it.
Earlier, the head of the HRC, Valery Fadeev, said that there is a desire to block YouTube in the Russian Federation for numerous fakes about the special operation, but in this case the Russian side will lose the opportunity to convey its point of view to a wide audience.
– noted Fadeev in an interview with RIA Novosti.
