Editing Sputnik (news agency)

'''Sputnik''' is a [[Russian Federation|Russian]] state-funded news agency which has regional editorial offices in various cities outside of Russia. It serves as a counterweight against Western [[bourgeois media]] which tend to spread pro-imperialist narratives and has thus received heavy criticism and even censorship. 

Various Sputnik accounts have been censored on Telegram, a Russia-based chat app used for disseminating news. This has been speculated to be the result of EU-US regulator demands.<ref>@wyattreed13 on Twitter: [https://twitter.com/wyattreed13/status/1503558692083535873?s=21 “CONFIRMED: Russian outlets like @SputnikInt are being blocked on Telegram—apparently in response to speech restrictions imposed by US and Europe.]
