content: Youtube announces that content creators can be banned for talking about alleged election fraud A few weeks ago Youtube officially announced that it will begin monetizing unmonetized channels, but without sharing the ad revenue. In other words, Youtube can refuse to monetize your channel but will still play ads. Now Youtube has announced that those who talk about alleged election fraud in 2020 will have their videos deleted for the time being. However, those who continue talking about alleged election fraud after January 20th, will receive strikes and potentially be permanently banned from the website. It is interesting to note that for four solid years Youtube allowed hundreds of monetized channels to publish tens of thousands of videos about a politically motivated conspiracy theory that Russia stole the 2016 US election. No evidence to support this conspiracy was ever found. The purpose of the fake theory was to try to delegitimize a lawfully elected president and undermine the democratic process of the United States. Now, after allowing these wild conspiracy videos for four years, many of which came from major Youtube partners like CNN and MSNBC, Youtube is claiming that it is impossible that any party of any kind can interfere with a US election in any way. CNN, which spent four years using Youtube to claim Russia stole a US presidential election, chastized Youtube for taking so long to crack down on allegations of 2020 election fraud. Tim Pool, who has 1.22 million Youtube followers, announced today that his own channel is now in jeopardy because he has been reporting on alleged election fraud.﻿
