Many using VPN. For example if you set the VPN servers to HK, RT will display as usual. In general I notice my peers will use anti-west countries based servers for censored western news and the reverse for anti-east. Some do use it so intuitively they might not realized RT or any Russian sites blocked. A lot of time I just assume it is due to network outages.
I would think most people know about RT blocking because it was widely announced and discussed at the time, and not because they actually tried to access RT.
I am very much aware of this but as I wrote, I do not consider this blocked as the servers are very much reachable and what you show is that the DNS does not resolve. That is not what I consider blocked by the state. And yes, here in Sweden, rt.com resolves just fine everywhere. That's why I was wondering about specific European legislation as it seemed to be 'only' private companies doing their part.
I'm in Sweden and I can see rt.com
I am in the Netherlands and I am able to visit rt.com without VPN.
Netherlands here also and it's blocked for me.
Not for me.
Me too. I didn't even know about this blockade. I'm using T-Mobile fiber internet and rt.com loads just fine.
