>promote anti western values, politicians and groups and are a major source of misinformation yet some call banning these weapons of war censorship

It's pretty damn ironic that in the same breath you accuse Russia of promoting anti-western values, you attack the classic western value of free speech by calling for the banning of news sources you disagree with.



absolute free speech is an american construct. For historical reasons, in Germany the crime of Volksverhetzung is a thing and I'm glad for there to be limits. There's no question of what RT is doing, they're trolling at the state level.


Not really, we are in the paradox of tolerance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance) here.

It is in fact a bad idea to let Putin's propaganda machine have unchecked ability to spread anywhere.


you dont understand the paradox of tolerance


Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.
