Bitcoin Seems To Be Getting Censored by Youtube/Google

Youtube has aggressively started deleting cryptocurrency-related content from some of the biggest influencers in the industry, the cointelegraph reports. The video giant, a Google subsidiary, did not responded to Cointelegraph’s request for comment. This story will be updated if YouTube responds.

YouTube has not yet released any public statement on the reason and why they are banning crypto-related contents and videos. There have been rumors of new crypto regulations related to tax and investing coming in 2020 but no clear release yet has been seen from the US government. The lack of communication from YouTube has left influencers to speculate on the reason for the sudden crackdown.

YouTuber Ivan on Tech, whose channel has more than 210,000 subscribers, has also been affected by the ban. His account received one strike and he has set all of his videos to private “as a precaution.” He told Cointelegraph:

“This is an attack not only on crypto, but on the entire notion of free speech. Centralized platforms have become way too big and powerful for their own good and their deplatforming is the reason decentralized platforms will conquer.”
