"The European Union (EU) sanctions will likely legally
require us to withhold certain content in EU member states," a Twitter
spokesperson said in an emailed statement to Reuters.
"We intend to comply with the order when it goes into
effect."
EU industry chief Thierry Breton has said the European
Commission expected approval by late on Tuesday from member nations for the ban
on the Kremlin-backed outlets.
Outside the EU, Twitter said it would continue to focus on
reducing the visibility of content from these outlets as well as labelling it.
Facebook owner Meta, Alphabet's Google, YouTube and TikTok
have said they are blocking access to RT and Sputnik in the EU. On Tuesday,
Meta said it was globally demoting posts from Russian state media. -Reuters
