YouTube barred One America News Network from posting new videos and livestreaming for one week, after the right-leaning media organization uploaded a fake cure for the coronavirus.Tuesday's move marks YouTube's largest crackdown against OANN.

"After careful review, we removed a video from OANN and issued a strike on the channel for violating our COVID-19 misinformation policy, which prohibits content claiming there's a guaranteed cure," a YouTube spokesperson told CNBC. "Additionally, due to repeated violations of our Covid-19 misinformation policy and other channel monetization policies, we've suspended the channel from the YouTube Partner Program and as a result, its monetization on YouTube.

johnpavlovitz Hey - it's a step forward . . . By default they are acknowledging that the Covid-19 is a REAL thing! That alone is a starting place we could be encouraging 🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏🏼💯

What was the lie? Not a single media outlet has mentioned what the lie was? I have a feeling this is not a black and white issue.

On day 2 of my Twitter acct, I was suspended for 'harassing' tRump - I said he's a 'waste of oxygen'. Yet WE have to tolerate his myriad of lies, hate, harassment (prompting death threats), conspiracy theories, & an attempted coup for which he's allowed to continue. Insanity! 🤯

How the h*all do they know it’s a fake cure !!! I’m sick of the media, I’m sick of these evil people!!!!

Fake news network banned 1 week? Come on youtube. Do better.

Let me see for myself, where is it, the Big tech media censorship doesn't want me to form my own opinion COMMUNISTS

How about banning them forever- they are a conspiracy/ hate group.

StillADog Fuck Youtube. Everyone talks about Facebook being a problem, but I rarely see Youtube complaints despite them not only being one of the worst, but they actively helped Russian propaganda TV(RT) - (open incognito to avoid paywall)

StillADog Should be PERMABANNED ...

StillADog There should be some tough consequences! When spreading fake cures that can be at least harmful if not even lethal, highest degree of liability must be assessed!

“It was unclear what specifically OANN's video said about a Covid-19 cure that made YouTube decide to suspend the channel.” Thanks for taking care of my big brother.

You are all hypocrites. The idea of free speech only appeals to you when the other person is saying the things you agree with. The hypocrisy of our democracy! Shame!

Isko india ka youTube dikaho koi.. Yahan sabka ilaaj ha

Time to make News responsible known misinformation. YouTube should stop letting themselves be used as way to get misinformation out. FB and Tweet should of banned Trump outright. I don’t know if we as a nation can survive misinformation.

They should be banned permanently. They have a captive audience on Parler. Let them go there.

Hello, are you in need of an email marketer to help you send bulk email, auresponder, design newsletter, create a landing page for you on any platform. Kindly reach out to me. The best Email Marketing plug youu can ever come across

Just ban em for good.

When they have taken everyone else down, you do realise that you’ll be next right?🤦🏼‍♀️

'It was unclear what specifically OANN's video said about a Covid-19 cure that made YouTube decide to suspend the channel.' I bet they didn't break the policy. They just want to muzzle them. Can't wait for the great migration away from these 'platforms'.

One WEEK! If there were ANY standard or ethics REQUIRED to labeled as news then there wouldn’t be an OANN or any LITERAL FAKE NEWS out here! OANNIsFauxNews EnquiringMindsAreNumb

never censor dem news networks because a democrat never lies

What did they say? Or is this just an attack on free speech?

Won't even click... I am sure it is biased as hell.

gtconway3d They suspended me for a month because they didn’t like me calling Trump and his bags of supporters “WHITE TRASH”

Well ain't that a bitch? CNN,MSNBC,CBS etcetera.The so called 'Lamestream media' have not been given a timeout yet Citizn Trump's favorite network is currently in the shithouse? realDonaldTrump MeidasTouch

This network is beyond disgraceful. I couldn’t stomach it. At least Fox News has actual news and the rest were opinion shows made for entertainment and maybe informational. This network is basically trash.

This can't be their only fake video...

Like if you dont like the content don't FUCKING WATCH IT. How and why are being be supressed what kinda fuck shit is this 😐 forget whether its true or false they are there for ppl to upload their content not pick and choose who and what goes up. Like viewers are lil kids

Thank You YouTube!

Real fake news from Donnie's favorite channel?

Was it bleach or UV? The new republican sheep so desperate to find a news source will believe anything. OANN

Just a week? How about permanently?

gtconway3d What a bunch of crap. A one week suspension is the equivalent of going to bed without supper.

ETTD

Siadasha Gosh a whole week? The CEO of the largest medical group just got fired after stating that there is no covid crisis in the Dakotas.

SpiroAgnewGhost What is the matter with people? Why Is there such an urgency to spread false and dangerous information? This hurts my heart. But - YAY, Twitter!!

johnpavlovitz Only 1 week,

JCQ2222 with great power, comes great responsibility

This is facism

So... YouTube is like 'Bad OANN. Happy Thanksgiving. See you next week.'?

johnpavlovitz YouTube, delete that shit! Spreading false healthcare information like this could be lethal to people who believe it

johnpavlovitz Only a week YouTube ? You know you're going to have to totally get rid of them eventually. Do it now!

I always thought OANN was satire news

just a week huh?

UROCKlive1 realDonaldTrump your fakenews station

Baaaahahahahahahaaha

Lol .... it was called a news story.... Everytime google does something like this, it just makes Rumble more popular and brings google closer to being broken up.

UROCKlive1 All they read out of this is 'banned from youtube! our freedoms!' Nothing regarding 'fake Covid cure' even gets through. Cultmind Broken

It should be banned forever

A week?

UROCKlive1 Propagating death = 1 week suspension. Hmmm. Seems like shitty math to me.

gtconway3d This needs to happen EVERY time they post misinformation!

Good

42Lives Hey, how long would anybody else get banned for if they posted the same thing, permanently?

that is dangerous to public safety. YouTube should ban it permanently.

gtconway3d “News” organization.

A week is nothing but THIS (for people who don’t click and read) is something: “YouTube also demonetized the organization's channel, meaning it can't make money from YouTube ads.”

Don’t let the liars back in!

gtconway3d Parler folks are gonna be carrazzy!

Bitches be crazy.

OAN needs to get their shit together. Newsmax is running circles around them, and now this?

gtconway3d Trump’s new go-to brand.

gtconway3d Now do Trump and Fox.

JackPosobiec you wonder why nobody takes you seriously

gtconway3d It's a start

oann is a scourge. So is newsmax and EpochTimes

gtconway3d Make it permanent. We need to get on top of all the misinformation. Too many ignorant people out there.

Make it lifetime. Keep these idiots out of social media.

Was related to putting disinfectants and lights inside the body?

ONE stinkin' week? That's it?

gtconway3d That's all? Can they suspend them every time they post fake info?

AngelaPlummer3 Love it!!

gtconway3d Good for YouTube! OANN deserved it. A corrupt, lying network. Shame on people who watch it. They should know better.

OANN, try Rumble.

It is extremely concerning that not a single one of these stories indicates what OANN supposedly said jbursz

What was the 'cure'? Hydroxychloroquine again?

gtconway3d For a week!!! It should be permanent. When are social media sites going to ban individuals and entities for propagating conspiracy theories. You can’t believe anything in the press now and people are too gullible. Without consequences the truth will never prevail.

OANN is the new Fox propaganda machine.

gtconway3d YouTube just a week? They should be completely demonetized and deplatformed.

gtconway3d Why just a week, close permanently.

gtconway3d AN ENTIRE WEEK?! That'll tell 'em!

What will all the Nazis and fascist watch now? AskingForAFriend

gtconway3d Conservative censorship! Is really con artist banning.

gtconway3d Only for a week?

“fake” says the fakes

One week is not enough

CNN posts fake news all the time. But that’s okay

gtconway3d Only a week?

Lol ok youboob

:D aaaah that is so good :D

pOANNed

gtconway3d if only FB was as responsible OwnerFacebook

gtconway3d 'right leaning media' or 'extreme far right missinformation agents'?

I'm curious. What did they say? Who said it was false? Did they report on something from a credible medical source? Your story is about youtube's actions, but nothing about what oann did wrong.

JimmyUsmcVet It should be permanent. Nothing but lies.

Lol. Shocking

Why do most of the comments on this tweet come from accounts with only 3-15 followers

gtconway3d Y only a week

gtconway3d YouTube I'm sure that'll teach them....FFS ban these propaganda outlets once and for all.

gtconway3d One imagines OANN eventually will begin stockpiling attorneys to fend off future lawsuits after promulgating so much disinformation contrary to public health — as already happened at Fox

gtconway3d Just a week Huh! Seems like Twitter supports racism.

gtconway3d Good

gtconway3d Try forever

Excellent

usaosj youtube part of the deep swamp? 😂😂

5 Days on good behaviour

So where do I go for all my real news now?

SpiroAgnewGhost Well come on now I want to know what the cure was

gtconway3d Good.

gtconway3d Now Fox!

gtconway3d hasanthehun lol.

gtconway3d Sadly, this will just validate their cult hero status with many of those who believe they are the only ones speaking truths about Trump, and will take this as an example of 'big media' 'hiding the real truth'.

gtconway3d of course it was fake cure, fake cure for fake disease?. thought Covid was all a hoax.. that is what your messiah says.. or do I have my fringe radical conspiracy Russian generated Trump loving loving Trump groups mixed up?

gtconway3d How about permanent suspension for homicide?

gtconway3d

kat223 So I guess more cowbell isn’t a cure?

gtconway3d GOOD!!! I'm a big believer in free speech and the first amendment but we've got to figure out how to make sure our citizenry is informed so we're working from a common set of facts.

gtconway3d C’mon, YouTube, keep it up!

gtconway3d They need to block this propaganda channel permanently!

gtconway3d Why not forever?

gtconway3d Just a week?

lindaworkerbee ATT ATTTHANKS

gtconway3d Too little, way too late.

gtconway3d Way to go

gtconway3d A permanent ban would be more fitting.

gtconway3d The kind of ppl that complain & call this censorship are the same ppl that if someone were to lie to them to sell them some product or service, the seller could claim they were exercising free speech. Imagine if you couldn't trust ANYTHING because of what they view as free speech

gtconway3d Curious what the cure was and how they monetized it

gtconway3d Only a week?

gtconway3d Their viewers are just going to say their first amendment rights are being violated and stir up more conspiracy theories about the “evil tech companies”.

gtconway3d OANN isn’t a news network. It’s more propaganda than anything.

gtconway3d Can we get rid of these conspiracy shits by law?

gtconway3d OANN= One Anonymous Nonsense Network

i'm sure they've learned their lesson and will only post factual news from now on 🙄

gtconway3d Ban them permanently.

this is terrible news

gtconway3d 🤣😂😅😂🤣😂😅😂🤣🤣😂😅

CNBC, the purveyors of truth....lmao

lindaworkerbee One miserable week? I guess a slapped wrist must hurt plenty!!!

gtconway3d Hopefully the right wing nuts will get their own YouTube. ParlerTube?

gtconway3d Shocking

gtconway3d One entire week!! That's it

gtconway3d Hey Uverse! How about you?

gtconway3d What’s the cure? I want to know!

A week suspension is barely a slap on the wrist. 🙄

gtconway3d Make it permanent. These people should be prosecuted for what they do and the damage that they cause.

gtconway3d A week?! Well, it's a start!

gtconway3d .OANN

gtconway3d One week? I got suspended for two when I skipped school.

gtconway3d Did someone say one week?!

gtconway3d A week is not enough

👎

Why for only a fucking week

gtconway3d About dam time good for youtube with the REAL FAKE NEWS OANN/NEWSMAX
