YouTube temporarily suspends, demonetizes OANN
Axios ^ | November 24, 2020 | Ashley Gold

Posted on 11/24/2020 1:10:30 PM PST by McGruff

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.

Conservatives should strike YouTube.

I would say "strike at" YouTube would be a more appropriate response. The left would not hesitate to incite mob violence against such an opponent.

Silver also kills humans if ingested in significant, but not overly large, quantities.

What level is toxic, and why is it toxic?

Twitter will probably be next.

One America News @OANN

Emails, lewd photos, text messages — it’s the smoking gun scandal the Biden campaign & its media lapdogs are doing everything to squash.

I'd say that if a quantity is sufficient to kill you, that qualifies as "overly large".

LSD is active at 1/10th of a milligram (100 micrograms) and one whole milligram (1000 mics) is sufficient to send any normal person over the edge for a few days (though not kill them, usually).

"Large" is all relative. :-)

And sufficient silver turns you into a candidate for the Blue Man Group. Let's not forget that.

Your post pretty much sums up why I have nothing to do with Farce Book, Twitter or Instagram.

In essence it’s sad so many lives revolve around likes, friends that really aren’t, and mindlessly babbling on and on about their trivial daily activities like anyone else really gives a crap.

And this may be a very long tunnel in terms of time and distance, well beyond our lives or the life of our great nation.

I was thinking the same thing when I tried to watch a video by Stefan Molyneux this morning and found his videos had been removed. He’s a Conservative voice. Then if you google him he’s called a white supremist etc. which isn’t true. Not good.

This shutting down of free speech is not going to stop.

Very scary.
