Russian state media can no longer advertise on Google - BBC

YouTube's parent company Alphabet says it will suspend monetisation on its platforms for Russian state media outlets.

That means Russia Today (RT) and other channels can no longer receive money for ads on YouTube or other Alphabet-run websites and apps.

The company also says these outlets can no longer buy ads through Google Tools, place ads on Google services or otherwise use its ad technology to generate revenue for themselves.

A spokesman attributed the decision to "extraordinary circumstances" and said Alphabet would "take further steps if necessary".
