YouTube wipes out thousands of propaganda channels linked to China, Russia, others.

Google removed nearly 11,000 YouTube channels and other accounts tied to state-linked propaganda campaigns from China, Russia and more in the second quarter.

Google removed YouTube channels, Ads accounts, and a Blogger blog linked to RT, the Russian state-controlled media outlet accused of paying prominent conservative influencers for social media content ahead of the 2024 election.

The active removal of accounts is part of the Google Threat Analysis Group’s work to counter global disinformation campaigns.

If they really wiped these out, it makes me wonder if its a step closer to starting a war with Iran. Silence opposition is what you do before you launch everything.
