YouTube Bans Destroying the Illusion Occurred on 15 Oct 2020

YouTube deleted Jordan Sather’s channel Destroying the Illusion (as well as its backup channel Destroying the Illusion 2.0) in an attempt to purge channels that the platform claimed were spreading “harmful conspiracy theories.” The four year old channel had 238k subscribers and over 35 million total views.

YouTube’s reason for the terminating is “malicious harassment”, yet they do not specify exactly what the harassment was in their emails to the content creators. One can assume they are using this “harassment” excuse to remove videos and channels that are reporting on the new Hunter Biden revelations. Twitter was similarly removing tweets pertaining to the story yesterday with their excuses ranging from “hacked material” to “private information”.
