YouTube deletes RT's German channels over COVID misinformation
The Peninsula
BERLIN - Alphabet Inc's YouTube deleted Russian state-backed broadcaster RT's German-language channels on Tuesday, saying it had breached its COVID misinformation policy. "YouTube has always had clear community guidelines that outline what is allowed on the platform," said a spokesperson.
Initially RT's German channel was issued a strike for uploading content that violated YouTube's COVID misinformation policy, resulting in a suspension of posting rights on the platform for a week.
During that suspension, the Russian broadcaster tried to use another channel to circumvent the ban on uploading.
