LONDON, March 23 (Reuters) – Britain’s Ministry of Defence on Wednesday called on YouTube to remove videos from its online platform of a hoax call to defence minister Ben Wallace, which they said had been doctored by the Russian state.
“I am confident you would not wish to be a conduit for Russian propaganda or be in any way associated with the potential consequences of this type of media manipulation,” a letter posted on Twitter by the department said.
