www.rt.com is blocked in a couple of countries in Europe, so it's not about football, rather to curb "disinformation" for the next elections or whatever.

So, freedom.gov is also blocked to protect you from fake news I guess.

Sad.

RT is blocked in the entire EU as part of a sanctions round due to the invasion of Ukraine: https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2022...

It actually is, the IP it resolves to is Cloudflare.

Lucky you (this was not cynical) because for me there is no Cloudflare:

    This site can’t be reached
    Check if there is a typo in rt.com.

    DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

rt.com does not use Cloudflare, they are a customer of DDOS Guard:

  $ drill -Q rt.com | tee $(tty) | xargs whois | grep org-name
  91.215.41.4
  org-name:       DDOS-GUARD LTD

  $ curl --silent https://www.rt.com | grep '<title>[^<]\*</title>' | head -1
