YouTube Bans Global Watchmen News

YouTube Banned

YouTube banned Global Watchmen News, an alternative news channel, in an attempt to purge channels that the platform claimed were spreading “harmful conspiracy theories.” The five year old channel had about 30.9k subscribers and over 3 million total views across 461 videos.

A lot of YouTube channels - INCLUDING OURS has been terminated by @YouTube for no reason! It seems @YouTube will allow @YouTubeCreators who bully, slander, and promote illegal activities free reign on the platform - but if you share information, opinions, or news you are removed
