If you block them(the user for spreading 'disinformation) , they will just move on to a different social media platform that's less/not moderated = Parler, Gab, MeWe, Gettr, 4chan /pol/ .
If you block RT, don't be surprised to see BBC, NPR, CBC and other (govt funded) news outlets banned as well in many territories. People have a distrust for their own governments - because its their own government that spies on them and has the ability to oppress them.
A Russian will trust US media more than his countries own media because they are heavily influenced by the government. Same goes for many US consumers. Media/News company owners have a close relationship with the government.
