YouTube suspends One America News over fake COVID-19 cure news

YouTube has reportedly suspended One America News Network for promoting a false COVID-19 cure. OANN’s channel will stay online, but it will be prevented from uploading new videos for a week, and it’s been removed from YouTube’s advertising partner program.

Axios reported the news today, and YouTube spokesperson Ivy Choi said: “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.”

Choi said: “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.”

After its COVID-19 video, OANN will have to reapply for the partner program if it wants to monetize videos, it will also receive one strike under YouTube’s three-strikes policy for termination.
