YouTube
Banned
Wtf...YouTube banned CoinDesk, an independent news outlet that mostly focuses on crypto-currency news and updates. As to the reason, CoinDesk reported that YouTube emailed the following with no elaboration: “Content that encourages illegal activities or incites users to violate YouTube’s guidelines is not allowed on YouTube.”
The entire @CoinDesk channel, including “The Hash” which I co-host, was deleted from YouTube. Please watch the show on coindesk.tv 🙏 🙏 (Much better than trusting a 3rd party to host your content!)
This is why @LBRYcom exists, and I’m so grateful for it 🙏

The channel was reinstated about two days later when YouTube confirmed that CoinDesk’s channel is in fact not in violation of their guidelines.
