Can you please provide some examples of “the other side” that have been banned? I’m not in the US, but a country tightly aligned with the US, and I am able to access rt.com just fine.


I also don't live in the west, rather the global south, in a not so allied country.

When in Europe and in the US. You'll get something like this on twitter, and obviously you cannot access the site either:

@ActualidadRT's account has been withheld in Portugal, Finland, Sweden, Ireland, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Italy, Malta, Germany, Greece, Romania, Netherlands, Bulgaria, Austria, Luxembourg, Latvia, United Kingdom, Denmark, Lithuania, Croatia, Estonia, Cyprus, France, Spain, Belgium in response to a legal demand. https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/tweet-withhel...


The internet ... huh ... finds a way ... https://swentr.site/


Then this is a court order based on laws and a legal process. In no way is this comparable to how Russia treats different opinions.
