In the wake of the Parkland high school shooting that left 17 people dead and dozens injured, YouTube is targeting videos published by far-right conspiracy theorists who are prolific disseminators of fake news, and wiping them off the platform.
YouTube has also been doling out strikes to offenders, and Alex Jones InfoWars is reportedly on its second one after posting videos that accused Parkland survivors of being crisis actors. Now, the platform has taken out one of Jones most visible reporters, Jerome Corsi.
In a post to Twitter this Thursday, Corsi announced that his YouTube channel was deleted. According to him, the company deciding it no longer wants his business is comparable to the USSR.

(18,673 posts)He's the lying asshole who attacked John Kerry with his semi-fictional slime piece "Unfit For Command" where he contrasted the "coward" Kerry against "war hero" GW Bush. What a piece of shit.
I don't mind conservative views like PJ O'Rourke or George Will, there has to be a right to have a left, but Corsi a liar who influences the weak minded.
