Explosive Media's account suspended for violating 'Spam, deceptive practices and scams policies', YouTube says
Google, the owners of YouTube, has removed a channel on the platform belonging to a pro-Iran group producing Lego-themed videos mocking Donald Trump.
“Upon review, we’ve terminated the channel for violating our Spam, deceptive practices and scams policies,” a YouTube spokesperson told Middle East Eye.
“YouTube doesn’t allow spam, scams, or other deceptive practices that take advantage of the YouTube community.”
Explosive Media’s content largely consists of animations ridiculing the US war effort against Iran and poking fun at the US president.

Is this like when we banned the Chinese electric cars because we dont feel like competing anymore?
More like when we forced the sale of TikTok to Steven Mnuchin and Larry Ellison.
Or women athletes because they were better at certain sports
