Russian rights group says YouTube threatens to block its anti-war channel
A leading Russian rights group says it has received a notice from YouTube threatening to block access in Russia to one of its video channels featuring news on the war in Ukraine. OVD-Info, an independent protest monitoring network, said it had received an email from YouTube in early May saying that the Russian communications regulator Roskomnadzor had found content on the channel that violated a law on information technology. "If you do not remove the content, Google may be required to block it," Alphabet Inc's YouTube wrote, according to screenshots of an email shared with Reuters.

EU gives Hungary two months to address concerns over 'sovereignty' law
The European Commission said on Thursday it had given Hungary two months to alleviate concerns over a law that imposes jail terms for groups that accept foreign funds for political causes, before the issue could be referred to the EU Court of Justice. The commission in February opened an infringement procedure over the law on "protecting national sovereignty", passed in December, which Brussels said violated the union's democratic values and fundamental rights. The EU's executive arm said Hungary's reply to its February notice had not alleviated its concerns.
