YouTube did not specify how the channel had violated its policies, but the company has previously been described as being "aligned with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps".

Fediverse vs Disinformation
2304 readers

Pointing out, debunking, and spreading awareness about state- and company-sponsored astroturfing on Lemmy and elsewhere. This includes social media manipulation, propaganda, and disinformation campaigns, among others.
Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.
What's the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.
By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.

"Listen, please stop asking us to clarify. You're making it really hard for us. The White House demanded we ban them and I'm not supposed to say that publicly."
"The company later clarified that, 'It hurt someone's fee-fees.'"
"YouTube doesn’t allow spam, scams, or other deceptive practices that take advantage of the YouTube community."
Well that's a fucking lie, so we can probably assume whatever else they come out with to try and cover their asses will be one too.
Fuck Google.
