So, some channels are enjoying the somewhat the same treatment anyone antirussia is getting in Russia. I thought they would like it. Weird... Oh well. Maybe Russia shouldn't be so censorious too...
We already talk about Russia here, don't we? Distributing enemy propaganda, or just expressing anti-war or anti-military sentiment, is a criminal offense in Russia (and that's not new, beginning with the Russian crime of "extremism" for publishing interviews with Chechen separatist leaders and such already decades ago), and actually it's normal in wars.
Now why should we tolerate Russian propaganda in our countries? Because it's not normal in wars. That Soviet and pro-Soviet propaganda was allowed in America during the Cold War was weird. But during the recent (and ongoing, now mostly in Africa) war against the Islamic State the enemy propaganda has been suppressed very strongly on the internet with no free speech excuse.
Also the GWOT never actually ended. Even if it mostly moved to Africa, especially since losing in the original Afghanistan theater.
The original Cold War also continues in Korea, just the ceasefire holds (not to be confused with peace). That's for you in "we" because Poland isn't involved (but we've been on the other side), at least yet.

But muh Russia!
Tell me you're retarded without telling me you're retarded.

We are not at war.
We are.
