I have friends in Europe that told me video links I sent them do not work and that they get a "this video is not available in your region" message. Is this kind of censorship common in Europe? Are you seeing the videos in Europe that we see in the U.S. from people like Gonzalo Lira, Scott Ritter and Patrick Lancaster that dispute the official narrative on Ukraine?

That message was present for certain websites long before the Ukraine conflict, mostly as a result of various licensing deals (or lack thereof). That said, a few European ISPs were more than eager to go beyond the official ban on barely a couple of Russian websites, but typically this results in a "server did not send any data" or similar messages.
I still find it hilarious that it takes about two clicks to bypass the ban on RT and Sputnik, while actual Russian state mouthpieces like Pravda and TASS aren't even blocked to begin with.
