YouTube wipes out thousands of propaganda channels linked to China, Russia, others - (Never) forget the 11,000.

Link to article and archive (wip).
CNBC- Google announced Monday the removal of nearly 11,000 YouTube channels and other accounts tied to state-linked propaganda campaigns from China, Russia and more in the second quarter.

The takedown included more than 7,700 YouTube channels linked to China.

These campaigns primarily shared content in Chinese and English that promoted the People's Republic of China, supported President Xi Jinping and commented on U.S. foreign affairs.

Over 2,000 removed channels were linked to Russia. The content was in multiple languages that supported Russia and criticized Ukraine, NATO and the West.

Google, in May, removed 20 YouTube channels, 4 Ads accounts, and 1 Blogger blog linked to RT, the Russian state controlled media outlet accused of paying prominent conservative influencers for social media content ahead of the 2024 election.

Tim Pool, Dave Rubin and Benny Johnson — all staunch supporters of President Donald Trump — made content for Tenent Media, the Tennessee company described in the indictment, according to NBC News.

YouTube began blocking RT channels in March 2022, shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine.

The active removal of accounts is part of the Google Threat Analysis Group's work to counter global disinformation campaigns and "coordinated influence" operations.

Google's second quarter report also outlined the removal of influence campaigns linked to Azerbaijan, Iran, Turkey, Israel, Romania and Ghana that were found to be targeting political rivals.

Some campaigns centered on growing geopolitical conflicts, including narratives on both sides of the Israel-Palestine War.

"The findings from the most recent update are in line with our expectations of this regular and ongoing work," a YouTube spokesperson said in a statement.

Google took down more than 23,000 accounts in the first quarter.

Meta announced last week it removed about 10 million profiles for impersonating large content producers through the first half of 2025 as part of an effort by the company to combat "spammy content."

The most ambitious lie I've seen in years from the press. You're supposed to believe (((google))) is removing pro-Israel propaganda.

Oddly enough, my relatives watch these channels
and my Youtube algorythm only added channels of a white dude who claims to used to live in China saying how bad China is
and who made videos claiming how China is working with Youtube to demonetize him or some shit
but I never see Pro-China channels.
on the contrary i keep getting Anti-China videos being recommended now and then :/

I think its just false statements and statistics to justify retards having jobs by claiming "We got rid of 23,000 Chinese propaganda channels"
when in realistically they just removed 23 obscure channels with like 2-3 views after typing in the search bar "China is great"
Alot of people does that, they overinflate things they did with no proof backing it up, i.e. Pirate Software, Taylor Lorenz . (Both being nepo babies)

I think the closest to pro-China I’ve seen is a guy who owns tea shops in both china and the states and he never talks about politics unless you count complaining about tariffs. The opposite of that is always blasted in my face by channels that talk about how china fakes everything like their food being altered and counterfeited. I’m no fan of china, but the algorithm loves pushing anti china propaganda.

The very end of the piece cracks me up, because meta has doubled down trying to do a 180 after trump was elected into office the second time fixing all they’ve done from the first time. “We’ve cracked down on 12 bazillion fake accounts” - you’ve also done a lot to compromise anonymity and push people to have to submit their drivers license and use their full legal name in order to use your dying platform.

See, thats why this whole article seems sus

"HOW CHINA ECONOMY WILL COLLAPSE IN 2 WEEKS"

I'd rather kiketube tackle that other kind of blatant propaganda incessantly spewed at us all 24/7, but of course, Kalergi's clan is their sponsor.

 

[crowabunga]

At this point I'm resigned to preferring my own nation but also recognizing that I'm stuck in a propaganda crossfire and that the barrier to even approaching in-depth knowledge about the "other" is too great an effort to be worth clearing.

 

[JosephStalin]

Would like to see the liberal/leftist/Dem channels removed. Fuck them.

 

[Disastrously Dumb]

A recurring theme is that western governments always try to create a big bad villain
to distract people from reality

and these news channels and sites cannot understand that internet access makes these bullshit not work anymore. I mean yes it will still effect some people.
like Liberals are dumbfucks who still think CNBC, MSNBC and CNN are credible news sources. but this also applies to conservatives that listen to Ben Shapiro who does the same bullshit CNBC, MSNBC and CNN does.


Because lets face it, Western civilizations have ALOT of issues which everyone knows is an issue, except conveniently the mainstream news

- Illegal Immigration
- Epstein list
- Californian Slave Labor
- Active destruction of western identity in European countries through forced immigration
- London Grooming Gangs

All these are big issues that SHOULD be solved firsthand but nah
Government and Mainstream media be like...

"GUYS, EVERYONE! CHINA IS MAKING PROPAGANDA VIDEOS AND THEY ARE THREATENING OUR FREEDOM AND INTERNET SOVEREIGNTY"
"GUYS, EVERYONE! RUSSIA IS MAKING PROPAGANDA VIDEOS AND THEY ARE THE WRONG FORM OF COMMUNISM, WHEREAS OUR SOCIALIST AND COMMUNIST LIBERALS KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING"
"GUYS, EVERYONE! ISRAEL is our dear friend and isnt doing anything wrong whatsoever, anything you say and do is ANTISEMITIC, REMEMBER THE HOLOCAUST, GUYS THE HOLOCAUST, ITS REAL EVERYONE, THE HOLOCAUST, PLEASE THE HOLOCAUST"

 

[⚞⛇⚟]

Is there a list of these propaganda channels anywhere?

China uncensored is one of the worst next to all of the ones that go on about “muh gutter oil”. They’re picking and choosing which propaganda to allow and which to ban, which sets a very dangerous precedent. This is not quite on par with what we’re seeing with payment processors, but it’s in that same vein in being set to backfire.

Will they also ban pro-Ukrainian propaganda? I don’t believe for a minute that they’ll consistently ban Israeli propaganda, if they do at all given how in cahoots zionists like Ethan Klein are with the top dogs of YouTube.

Would like to see the liberal/leftist/Dem channels removed. Fuck them.

This reminds me of how for such a long time after the 2016 election libs and dems would use being Russian as a means of shouting down dissenters. I highly doubt they’ll go after any libs or dems the same way they’ve gone after their opponents, but it’d be nice to see them uphold their principles (implying they have any).

The fact that this image collage is 4 years old now is hilarious

The economy in China isn't good, but it isn't as if the west is doing much better.
My bet is the UK is going to shit itself first.

 

[quaawaa]

I doubt YouTube actually removed them, but Chinese propaganda videos are often just sponsored videos from Western YouTubers.

Car reviews and travel vloggers are two popular categories for the CCP and the comments will be full of bots dooming about the West.

Watching his channel and the countdown of days as to when China'll collapse, but it never happens
makes me think he's like the next Harold Camping.

and his viewers are more retarded than Harold Camping's viewers, who stopped watching him after TWO failed rapture predictions.
because this guy has been wrong about everything for so long and still have viewers.
