The leading opposition media in Sweden were issued with a black screen on the front page in protest of the Swedish government’s closure of the opposition channel SwebbTV with 60.000 subscribers.
An unfounded claim. SwebbTV continues to publish online. The channel was banned from YouTube; a decision made without involvement of any Swedish authorities.
Cases in the EUvsDisinfo database focus on messages in the international information space that are identified as providing a partial, distorted, or false depiction of reality and spread key pro-Kremlin messages. This does not necessarily imply, however, that a given outlet is linked to the Kremlin or editorially pro-Kremlin, or that it has intentionally sought to disinform. EUvsDisinfo publications do not represent an official EU position, as the information and opinions expressed are based on media reporting and analysis of the East Stratcom Task Force.
