Russia is planning to block YouTube completely.

According to Russian media, which cites people close to the Putin government, the video-hosting site would be barred in Russia come September.

“There will be some deterioration in July and August, which means that working conditions on YouTube will worsen in some areas. It will slow down in some places, the website may slow down in certain places, and the app may crash in one place. And the blockade will start in September,” the insider stated.

This information was also confirmed to the magazine by a source at a business that gathers data for law enforcement.

Furthermore, Medusa writes about the service’s intentional blockage. The report citing “technical problems in the operation of the equipment” is an attempt, the source said, to “shift the responsibility”.
