Youtube is going to ban all COVID-19 content that is against WHO’s Guidelines.
YouTube has started a crackdown against conspiracy theories and misinformation linking coronavirus to 5G networks. Since it caused harm in the UK. YouTube will ban COVID-19 content from its website that is against WHO’s guidelines.
Susan Wokcicki, YouTube CEO said:
The content for COVID-19 that contradicts WHO’s guidelines will be banned from the platform. Videos that contain unsustained medical advice will be removed. People recommending turmeric or vitamin C as a cure for the disease. These are examples of violations of YouTube’s policy.
YouTube announced last month that it will demonetize all coronavirus content. So that it cannot be used for making money or adverts. It was a part of the streaming platform’s ongoing policy of discouraging advertisements on “sensitive events”.
