Social media platforms are beginning to crack down on Russian state media in response to the Kremlin''s efforts to tighten controls around internet communications. Why it matters: Tech giants that provide services around the world prefer not to take sides in conflicts where they operate in both combatants'' territory, but Russia''s invasion of Ukraine is making that stance tough to maintain. Driving the news: Google said late Saturday it is pausing monetization of Russian state-funded media across its platforms, hours after its subsidiary YouTube announced a similar measure, citing "extraordinary circumstances in Ukraine." A YouTube spokesperson noted it will also be "significantly limiting recommendations to these channels." Facebook parent Meta on Friday said it would also prohibit Russian state media "from running ads or monetizing on our platform anywhere in the world," per a tweet from its head of security policy, Nathaniel Gleicher. Twitter also said Friday it would temporarily pause advertisements in Ukraine and Russia "to ensure critical public safety information is elevated and ads don’t detract from it." State of play: Social networks have for many months labeled accounts for outlets such as RT and Sputnik as Russian state media.
