Russian officials say they have warned United States Internet giant Google against “meddling” in local elections scheduled for Sept. 9 by allowing Kremlin foe Aleksei Navalny to post videos calling for mass protests on YouTube.
Representatives of Russia’s election commission, the Prosecutor-General’s Office, and the state Internet watchdog discussed their grievances against Google, which owns YouTube, during a meeting of Russia’s upper house of parliament, the Federation Council, on Sept. 4.
