RUSSIA RESTRICTS ACCESS TO MUSIC SERVICE SOUNDCLOUD

Sun 02 October 2022:

At the Prosecutor General’s Office’s request, Russia has restricted access to the music streaming service Soundcloud over allegedly false information about the conflict in Ukraine, the media watchdog Roskomnadzor said on Sunday.

According to the report, details about Russian attacks on the neighboring country’s civilian population and Russian soldiers’ civilian casualties had been made public on the online music distribution platform.

The authority had previously asked the provider twice to delete this information on “the special military operation,” as the war against Ukraine is known in Russia. This was not done, it said.

It was initially unclear how severe the restrictions were for Soundcloud.

There are repeated reports from Ukraine that Russian troops are also attacking the civilian population. On Friday and Saturday, Kiev said that car convoys were attacked resulting in civilian casualties.

Reports from the war zone cannot be independently verified.
