Russian state media outlet RT is growing its presence on a Canadian video sharing site after large social-media firms blocked or limited content from the Kremlin-controlled network.
Since March 1, RT has more than quadrupled its subscriber count on Toronto-based Rumble Inc., a YouTube competitor that bills itself as a “neutral” platform vowing to uphold free speech. On Twitter, RT recently encouraged followers to subscribe to its Rumble channel. “They can block social networks, but they can’t block the truth,” the tweet reads. (Twitter labels RT as Russian state-affiliated media, and has taken steps to reduce the visibility of such tweets.)
Western governments widely view RT as a Russian propaganda outlet.
