UK communications regulator launches 15 investigations into Kremlin-backed news chann
Oh UK... lol I highly doubt that the Russians dont give a damn about UK communication laws that only apply to the UK. Moronic...

The UK's communication regulator is launching 15 investigations into Russia Today (RT), the Kremlin-backed news channel.

The announcement same Monday via a statement.

Ofcom — the UK's communications regulator — said it had "observed a significant increase in the number of programs on the RT service that warrant investigation under our Broadcasting Code."

Last week, UK Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries asked Ofcom to review RT's operation in Britain. The regulator replied to Dorries saying it had “stepped up our oversight" in light of the "serious nature of the crisis in Ukraine."

The investigations "relate to 15 editions of the hourly News program broadcast on RT on 27 February 2022 between 05:00 and 19:00 inclusive" and will be – "expedited, given the severity and urgency of the current crisis," Ofcom said Monday.

Ofcom's Chief Executive Melanie Dawes added that "given the serious, ongoing situation in Ukraine, we will be concluding our investigations into RT as a matter of urgency."

The regulator acknowledged that "when reporting on an armed conflict" it can be "difficult for broadcasters to verify information and events" but that it is "imperative that they make every effort to do so."

EU is already moving to shut down RT in their territory.

RT is not working on my Roku any longer either.

Not a fan of shutting down the message to prevent the population from hearing it. It's more ideal for the population to realize its crap and voluntarily tune out and disregard
