YouTube has taken down the Nation Media Group owned NTV channel With more than 2.1 million subscribers.
This occurred six years after the channel’s 2016 suspension due to a violation of the YouTube Community Terms of Service.
NTV was informed by YouTube that the channel had been suspended as a result of many copyright infringement complaints from third parties, according to Capital Business
The videos the channel had uploaded were unavailable due to suspension, according to a spot check of the channel.
A spot check on the channel showed the videos uploaded by the channel were not available due to suspension.
“This video is no longer available because the YouTube account associated with this video has been terminated,” reads part of a message display when you click on the link leading to the NTV channel.
According to Bizna Kenya, the channel was suspended on Monday, February 13, and had over 100,000 video uploads.
The reason for the second suspension was not clearly stated.
The giant social media and video-sharing platform owned by Google directs that a YouTube channel can be terminated when there is:
Repeated violations of the Community Guidelines or Terms of Service across any form of content. These include posting abusive, hateful, and/or harassing videos or comments.
A single case of severe abuse (such as predatory behaviour, spam, or obscene).
Channels or accounts dedicated to a policy violation (like hate speech, harassment, or impersonation).
The channel owners can appeal if they feel their accounts were suspended by mistake.
