Blinky better have tapes. If this org is directly connected to RT, fuck em.
I bet he does. This dude has been way too straight of a shooter to just randomly ban the org. African Stream and Tim Poole are not going to like the discovery phase of this lawsuit.
Is there a full list of sites banned?
Also I think it’s interesting that (allegedly) state funded media pushing propaganda is ok to be banned, but the US always cries foul and authoritarianism when its own Ngos and influence campaigns get banned abroad.
>RT also secretly runs the online platform African Stream across a wide range of social media platforms. Now, according to the outlet’s website, “African Stream is” – and I quote – “a pan-African digital media organisation based exclusively on social-media platforms, focused on giving a voice to all Africans both at home and abroad.” In reality, the only voice it gives is to Kremlin propagandists.
I will say, a few months ago it seemed like their videos suddenly got posted *a lot* on Reddit, usually on topics not related to Africa.
African Stream AND Red Stream were both taken down. I’m more familiar with Red Stream, a relaunch of Redfish (confirmed russian propaganda).
African Stream and Red Stream never mention that they are associated, but just taking a look at their names and website designs, they look to use the same template. lol

Free speech absolutism really is a myth
