Title: YouTube Terminates Account of InfoWars Bureau Chief
Post by: wally on March 02, 2018, 07:05:39 AM
It's been a wild week for InfoWars's DC bureau chief Jerome Corsi. On Tuesday, Corsi, a proponent of the QAnon and Obama birther conspiracies, was riding high after being printed in USA Today, the country's highest-circulating paper. Today, he was kicked off YouTube for life.

The channel, which had amassed around 30,000 subscribers, has been wiped clean, its content replaced with a small red termination notice. The removal appears to be for keeps as well. As opposed to suspensions, parent company Google's rules outline the repercussions of terminations as the following (emphasis ours):

Users whose accounts have been terminated are prohibited from accessing, possessing, or creating any other Google Accounts. When an account is terminated, the account owner receives an email detailing the reason for the termination.
