YouTube Says It Accidentally Deleted Right-Wing Extremism Watchdog's Channel
HuffPost
Right Wing Watch saw its channel restored hours later — after YouTube rejected its appeal.
On Monday, YouTube permanently banned Right Wing Watch, a nonprofit watchdog that highlights and warns about conspiracy theories, disinformation and hate speech on the far right, before reversing the ban later in the day. The popular channel, which highlights and warns viewers about conspiracy theories, disinformation and hate speech on the far right, had accumulated three strikes in 90 days, including one on a video uploaded some eight years ago, YouTube told RWW, prompting the ban. YouTube overturned the ban hours later. A spokesperson told HuffPost in a statement the channel “was mistakenly suspended” and that the accident was apparent upon review.More Related News
