https://www.rt.com/news/437203-roger-waters-interview-rt-censorship/

Pink Floyd ex-frontman Roger Waters took aim at the controversial White Helmets group, and spoke about censorship on Facebook and other social media platforms during an interview with RT\u2019s Sophie Shevardnadze.

Waters told the host of SophieCo that he would offer his full support to the White Helmets if he saw that the organization was actually involved in helping victims of the Syrian conflict. But \u201call the evidence points to the fact that that is not the reality,\u201d he said. Commenting on the Oscar-winning documentary about the supposed humanitarian group, Waters quipped: \u201cHave you ever seen anything so obviously scripted and carefully shot?\u201d

The rock legend also touched upon tech giants cracking down on undesirable speech.

\u201cNow Facebook and Google and YouTube are the way that most people get their news. And they use social media in order to educate themselves or find out what\u2019s going on. But the content is being censored by the corporations that own them. So it won\u2019t be free \u2013 I mean, it\u2019s not free now,\u201d he said, adding that he wouldn\u2019t be surprised if he was eventually banned from social media sites because he was anti-war.

Waters tells a personal anecdote about working with a music producer who claimed that RT was \u201cpure propaganda.\u201d

\u201cWell, I watch RT,\u201d Waters said with a grin. \u201cYou can\u2019t see a documentary about fracking on American television. Because they\u2019re not interested in telling you anything about anything.\u201d
