Good to see YouTube clamping down on Covid misinformation
Quote:
Sky News Australia barred for week by YouTube over Covid misinformation
A YouTube statement said it had "clear and established Covid-19 medical misinformation policies based on local and global health authority guidance".
A spokesperson told the Guardian it "did not allow content that denies the existence of Covid-19" or which encouraged people "to use hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin to treat or prevent the virus". Neither has been proven to be effective against Covid.
The videos in question "did not provide sufficient countervailing context", the spokesperson said.
