Russia started limiting youtube speed after google refused to take down certain content they wanted them to take down. So Vlad got pissed and wanted to ban youtube entirely, but slowdown was a first step. Google just decided that two can play this game.

“We are deactivating all AdSense accounts with Russia as the country of location. This means that it will be impossible to make a profit from monetization through such accounts.

Wow. There’s people still using Google besides ai?
