YouTube has barred One America News Network from posting new videos for a week and stripped it of its ability to make money off existing content after the Trump-friendly channel uploaded a video promoting a phony cure for COVID-19, YouTube spokesperson Ivy Choi tells Axios.
Why it matters: YouTube has been criticized for allowing OANN to spread misinformation using its platform, particularly around coronavirus and the election. This marks the Google-owned service's first crackdown against OANN.
Details: OANN's one-week suspension from posting new videos or livestreams is the result of a "strike" YouTube issued for violating its COVID-19 misinformation policy, which prohibits saying there is a guaranteed cure to the virus. YouTube took down the video that triggered the strike.
OANN is also suspended from the YouTube Partner Program, which means if it wants to monetize its videos again, it will have to re-apply.
YouTube has a three-strikes policy before an account is terminated. This is OANN's first strike, but it has violated the platform's COVID-19 misinformation policy before, meaning it gets no more warnings if it breaks the rules again — just additional strikes.
YouTube says it does not consider OANN an authoritative news source.

So what was the “phony” cure, if they were talking about a cure at all?
Meant to say:
witnessing the agonizingly protracted death and funeral of my country!!!
TV channel 1208 on ATT cable. Also Direct TV
Check to see if you can get a smartphone app to stream your phone to your TV. I haven't had cable since March and was watching things on my laptop or phone until I ran into a streaming app about month ago. It actually gives me better quality video that my laptop performance is degraded by work stuff that is always running.
So YouTube is the purveyor of all truth? If we avoid conspiracy theories, YouTube will allow us a platform?
It suspect it was in retaliation for getting this three part series they just did on Dominion-izing the vote out there front and center.

Screw them all.
As a monopoly, demonetizing competitors is actionable. Sue their pants off.
Ad blockers still give them revenue. The ad gets sent to your computer or phone and then it is blocked. Just by clicking on a site, it generates revenue. Others ads are click thru. I would never click thru anyway, but I still run an ad blocker because it increases performance and makes things more readable.
I have streaming but went ROKU last year and cut cable.
Klowdtv.com is offering OANN and Alex Jones infowars channel free thru 2020. No credit card needed, just an email to log on.
I added klowdtv app to my Roku. Newsmax is also free through the ROKU channel.
Silver also kills humans if ingested in significant, but not overly large, quantities.
The "cure" of calling for ending lockdowns is not approved by the Committee of Allowed Public Discussion.
Pluto is also available on Firestick.
No, they were promoting truth. Like a silver bullets to werewolves.
If we lose, it is because RINOs will not do their jobs and ensure fair elections, first Amendment rights, and break up the deep state / Democrat cabal
Has nothing to do with "phony cure." If that was the standard a whole mountain load of crap would be kept off of Youtube. Has only to do with *WHO* is uploading it.
Way past time we burned Google to the ground and @$$whipped all it's obnoxious liberal employees.
Should have pinged you also to my #31 post. Just a couple other options I had found.
communism by any other name
