Google LLC has filed lawsuits in courts in the U.K. and the U.S. against Russian broadcaster RT, formerly called Russia Today, as it looks to block a global legal battle over the channel’s removal from YouTube, MSN reported. The firm has sued RT’s owner, TV Novosti, and Tsargrad Media, which is owned by the Kremlin-supporting oligarch Konstantin Malofeev and NFPT, owner of the Orthodox Spas TV channel. The tech giant is seeking a ruling that will prevent the channels from pursuing it in courts outside of Russia.
