‘Disturbing assault’: Conservative MPs claim Sky News’ YouTube ban is ‘censorship’
A spokesperson for Google-owned YouTube said Sky had been given a “strike” for posting videos that the platform claimed constituted “misinformation” about COVID. They said YouTube does not permit content that “encourages people to use hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin to treat or prevent the virus”. A strike means the channel is restricted from posting new videos for seven days.
