euros, if you post a RT video you could be prosecuted? do I understand that right? is that real?

afaict, RT-Germany can not (re-)broadcast in Germany, but I guess other countries could also try to stop the geopolitical equivalent of yelling "fire" in a theater:

The Russian Federation has engaged in a systematic, international campaign
of media manipulation and distortion of facts in order to enhance its strategy
of destabilisation of its neighbouring countries and of the [European] Union
and its Member States. In particular, the propaganda has repeatedly and
consistently targeted European political parties, especially during election
periods, as well as targeting civil society, asylum seekers, Russian ethnic
minorities, gender minorities, and the functioning of democratic institutions
in the [European] Union and its Member States.

it looks like most of the decision ("opinion"?) deals with what it means to be an "operator" when the law says:

It shall be prohibited for operators to broadcast or to enable, facilitate or
otherwise contribute to broadcast, any content by the legal persons, entities or
bodies listed in Annex XV, including through transmission or distribution by any
means such as cable, satellite, IP-TV, internet service providers, internet videosharing platforms or applications, whether new or pre-installed.’


then again, distorting facts during election periods to destabilize communities and impair the functioning of civil society seems like a time-honored tradition over here...

I guess it's not "gay" when it's "your dog"

Trump mistakenly confused Iran and Japan.

President Donald Trump: “I told this story yesterday. We had 111 missiles shot by the Islamic Republic of Japan.”
