OAKLAND, Calif. (Reuters) – Alphabet Inc’s Google confirmed on Tuesday that it had removed Russian state-funded publishers such as RT from its news-related features, including the Google News search tool, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and various sanctions against Russia.
Kent Walker, Google’s president of global affairs, said earlier Tuesday in a blog post that “in this extraordinary crisis we are taking extraordinary measures to stop the spread of misinformation and disrupt disinformation campaigns online.”
