Latvia blocks access to another pro-Kremlin website

Latvia's national media watchdog said May 28 it has blocked access to a pro-Kremlin internet portal. 

The National Electronic Mass Media Council (NEPLP) said a portal named 'pravda-lv.com' disseminated information hostile to Latvia and its allies, and spread false narratives about Russia's war in Ukraine.

Internet service providers must now block access to the portal and its mirror sites - including any that spring up in the future.

Since the start of Russia's war in Ukraine, the NEPLP has restricted access to dozens of websites deemed to be spreading disinformation and/or presenting a threat to national security.
