Google blocked the accounts of the UK Belarus

Google Corporation blocked the account and the Utuub channel of the Belarusian Investigative Committee due to the sanctions against Belarus introduced by the United States. It is reported by "Mediazona. Belarus" (the publisher of the Russian "Mediazone" is included in the register of the media, "foreign agents").

"The Google account is disabled in accordance with our rules regarding the restriction of export and application of sanctions and cannot be restored," the company received by the Investigative Committee is indicated in the message. When you try to open the Utuub channel SK, a message appears that the account was blocked for violation of the YouTube community rules.

The official Belarusian agency BelTA, citing the representative of the department, Yulia Goncharov, reports that the channel was verified and had 23 thousand subscribers. In its accounts on social networks, the Belarusian Investigative Committee regularly reports, among other things, about new criminal cases against representatives of the opposition, activists and journalists who are accused of various crimes in connection with protests against the regime of Alexander Lukashenko.

Earlier, in connection with American sanctions, in particular, Instagram accounts of the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov and a number of Chechnya officials and annexed Crimea were blocked. Information resources were also blocked. At the same time, we are more likely about spot blocks - the accounts of not all persons included in the sanctions lists are blocked, and not in all social networks in the jurisdiction of the United States.
