Google, the owners of YouTube, has removed a channel on the platform belonging to a pro-Iran group producing Lego-themed videos mocking Donald Trump.
“Upon review, we’ve terminated the channel for violating our Spam, deceptive practices and scams policies,” a YouTube spokesperson told Middle East Eye.
“YouTube doesn’t allow spam, scams, or other deceptive practices that take advantage of the YouTube community.”
Explosive Media’s content largely consists of animations ridiculing the US war effort against Iran and poking fun at the US president.
I’m not surprised, but those videos were pretty fucking funny
Okay but link to the vids?
Is this like when we banned the Chinese electric cars because we dont feel like competing anymore?
Do Prager U and Ben Shapio next
Every American company is loyal to the empire. If not by gleeful obedience then at least by threat of court orders and political pressure. I guess in Google’s case it’s that kind of gleeful obedience.
Youtube supporting zionist violence? Shocked.
That means the videos were effective; I don’t agree with Youtube’s decision but it’s their business I guess.
Now I want to watch the videos
Explosive Media, known in Persian as Akhbar Enfejari, has denied it is backed by the Iranian government and its videos have reached millions of viewers across a range of social media platforms.
Speaking to the BBC, the head of Explosive Media, who referred to himself as “Mr Explosive”, said his team consisted of fewer than 10 people and that the Iranian government was a “customer” of his company.
NGL, confusing article. Not even sure why it would matter?
TIL .ml loves mass-spam of genAI slopaganda if it’s in support of a cause they’re aligned with. Good to know.
Dailymotiom is french so I had hoped that anyone wanting to watch them could just go there. However, I don’t see most of the videos in question there.
Looks like the videos exist on this Russian video hosting site: https://m.vkvideo.ru/?q=Lego+trump&action=search
