If they want to watch pro-Russian propaganda they should have that right. I wouldn't banned Fox News for its conservative slant or CNN/MSNBC for their centrist/liberal shtick if such legislation came to the States.

I'm sure it's still available online if you know where to look. But yes, this is a good decision by the EU.

Sometimes banning things is the lesser evil.

I think they should be given the RT treatment (being labelled as state propaganda).

Liberal democracy must able to defend itsself from those who seek to undermine or destroy it. So that's a false argument, imho. And no free speech is absolute, certainly not when it comes to lies and missinformation. The Kremlin has declared hybrid war on the West and we shouldn't just sit back and do nothing about it.

This, but unironically.
