It even worse. Ukraine is under Russian attack for more then 7 years. Yet all disputes are directed to 'Moscow office' because Susan Wojcicki thinks it is absolutely logical to have such structure.

As result any attempts to stand against Russia sponsored propaganda and lies are prosecuted by Youtube.

There are brave Ukrainian man and women who with their own time and resources are trying to stand against huge Russian propaganda machine. The task itself is almost impossible and in addition to that Youtube acts against them.

Recently Youtube have managed to close Ukrainian channel with 125k subscribers. No warnings, no nothing. The channel was criticizing Russia sponsored propaganda and lies.

I wish someone who can speak with this Susan Wojcicki would deliver her warmest "hi" from Ukraine and a big thanks for supporting Russian war against Ukraine.

Not only democratic Ukraine faces aggression from Russia it also faces injustices on Youtube. This is absolutely unacceptable situation.

For those who are not aware about what is going on. Simple Ukrainians by their own initiative make calls to Russian citizens directly to tell them the truth about war that Russia started against Ukraine.

They use facts,official documents, OSCE public reports, public Videos and pure logic to convince Russians that their country indeed have started unprovoked War against Ukraine and covers it with lies pretending it never did. The deadly War that took already more then 15000 lives.

They use all possible methods to convince Russians but usually Russians are in complete denial. Ukrainians are recording those conversations and put on Youtube for everyone to observe. I was also shocked to find out how many Russians are actually support this war and cruelty toward innocent neighbor.

One example of such channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6sS9akmYgA

Those Ukrainian channels trying to tell the truth are under constant attacks from Russian bots and strikes. If Susan Wojcicki have found her precious time to receive award about free-speech whether it is fake or not she SHOULD act accordingly and demonstrate it with her own actions. And we should keep her accountable if she doesn't.

Please someone who can, deliver that message to Susan Wojcicki. Not only she could change that malicious practice she SHOULD change it. There are no excuses. For each such 'shit happening' there is a person responsible for it. She is absolutely responsible for not protecting the truth here.


Oh man, if you're surprised by Big Tech's active oppression of minority cultures, you should have been here when Apple handed over the keys to their digital kingdom to China's communist party.


I am not surprised but I am not going to tolerate it any more without resistance. For each 'shit happening' usually there is one responsible for it. 'Shit' doesn't just happens. 'Shit' takes time. Shit takes effort of those responsible for it. And they should feel the consequences for making any 'shit' happen.
