Vlogger Sangkay Janjan takes down 167 videos following Rappler investigationThe now-unavailable videos violate YouTube’s policies on harassment and COVID-19 misinformation. Take down is not enough...he should be taken to court! Grabe atake kay Leni. Meron pa matindi si Dantes Talk, Ben Barubal at Maharlika. Daily halos murahin si Leni tapos minimum na ang 200k views.
