Russian authorities continue to block content related to «Smart Vote»
After the Navalny application disappeared from Google Play and the App Store and the Smart Voting bot was restricted in Telegram on the first day of voting, Roskomnadzor demanded that YouTube remove three videos from Alexei Navalny's channel. These are videos with lists of candidates recommended for support by Navalny's supporters.
A few hours after the Roskomnadzor demand appeared, the video “Smart Voting Recommendations in the State Duma elections. All 225 districts ”were blocked.
