Russia blocks YouTube and WhatsApp – DW.com

Russia's internet regulator Roskomnadzor has removed"youtube.com" from its DNS (Domain Name System) servers.

This means that You Tube is no longer accessible in Russia. The WhatsApp domain has also disappeared from Roskomnadzor's servers. The Russian government has also launched a campaign against the messenger app Telegram, leading analysts to say Roskomnadzor is cracking down on platforms beyond its control. If DNS servers are like the internet's phone book, IP addresses are numbers assigned to computers, smartphones and routers to make them accessible and identifiable.

Three-hour takedown, AI labelling: India's new social media rules spark debate AFP via Getty Images India has taken several steps in recent years to tighten oversight of online speech India has introduced new rules that make it mandatory for social media companies to remove unlawful material within three hours of being notified, in a sharp tightening of the existing 36-hour deadline.

Turning Point USA’s All-American Halftime Show draws 6.1M concurrent viewers on YouTube

Streamed opposite Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance, Turning Point USA’s “All-American Halftime Show” featuring Kid Rock drew as many as 6.1 million concurrent viewers on its YouTube channel Sunday night. The show, which started after the conclusion of the first half of the Super Bowl, began with a message in support of late conservative pundit Charlie Kirk. “This one is for you, Charlie,” a spokesman said. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made a video appearance on the YouTube livestream before the concert commenced, and the stream included a pro-adoption advertisement funded by “Adoption is an option.” But the show, which also saw performances from country singers Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice and Gabby Barrett, was mostly devoid of political messaging. “From the War Department, we salute Turning Point USA and everyone who believes freedom is still worth the fight,” Hegseth said in the video. “Thank you for your courage as an organization, your clarity and leadership, and for this halftime show the war department is proud to support.” While Turning Point USA drew over 6 million concurrent views on YouTube, the television audience for the Bad Bunny halftime show was expected to be much larger.
