Another question : Ruptly is reporting live on these protests in Paris and Berlin on YT weekly now.

Are they part of the censorship? Is there something they are not showing?

They exclusively follow the edge of the police line and mostly focuses on them throughout. Typically therefore, coverage shows limited numbers of people, and most of any violence that occurs.

But, it's better than nothing, and at least documents who started what. In the case of Berlin recently, it was particularly shocking.

I see them walking embedded in the crowds in Paris. They tend to follow the action if a particular place 'dies out'.

> it was particularly shocking.

Why so vague?

Have I not typed enough?

That is entirely up to you.

Ruptly is Russian media, so I suppose they have the freedom to report these things that local media doesn't have.

From what I have understood is that the Ruptly crews are safe because they are trusted and known to publish a factual non-editorialized stream.

The traditional media? Not so much.
