The grandparent made the broad generalization not the person you are replying to. They said the "west" is blocking RT. It might stun you to learn that the US is part of the west and isn't blocking RT. I don't want to stun you too much, but the west is not some uniform block of countries.

Golly gee, you sure got me there on that! Let's rephrase to "parts of the West", what impact does that have on the argument that Western powers engage in media censorship as well?
> I don't want to stun you too much, but the west is not some uniform block of countries.
LOL. You understand it is _literally_ called the "Western Bloc", right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Bloc

I just browsed Russia Today without a VPN. I'm in the US

That's great. The block is in the EU. Which is in...the West.

I just went to RT from the US. This whataboutism doesn't work.
I'm so tired of "whataboutism" being used to as some attempt to shut down an argument. It is perfectly valid to point out hypocritical arguments. And it might stun you to know that the West isn't solely composed of the US. Try going to RT from the EU - https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=OJ:L...
Take special note not just of the block, but of the anticircumvention provisions.

The great firewall of China prevents most of their citizens from seeing news that isn’t the party line. And if you share it you face criminal charges. Not to mention their social ranking system.
It’s ridiculous to say the US media is almost as heavily controlled as China.

Totally not like how access to Russian news outlets has been blocked by parts of the West.
