YouTube Bans World Alternative Media

YouTube Banned

YouTube banned World Alternative Media in an attempt to purge channels that the platform claimed were spreading “harmful conspiracy theories.” The seven and a half year old channel had over 154k subscribers and more than 21.5 million total views across 1700 videos.

YouTube just DELETED my channel for no reason without recourse. A channel with 155,000 subs. All we do is tell the news. We just report facts. We had zero strikes on our channel. This isn’t just an attack on us, it’s an attack on you. An attack on free information.

YouTube responded to my appeal after taking down my channel of 155,000 subs for no reason after 7.5 years of hard work. It was a robotic message saying that they’re keeping my channel down & not reinstating it. @TeamYouTube you don’t even have the decency to respond with humans?

Even after the appeal was rejected, YouTube started age-restricting videos on the now-completely-deleted channel.
