RAMROD 117,892 Posted July 22, 2025 Share Posted July 22, 2025 Google removed nearly 11,000 YouTube channels and other accounts tied to state-linked propaganda campaigns from China, Russia and more in the second quarter. Google removed YouTube channels, Ads accounts, and a 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 Google announced Monday the removal of nearly 11,000 YouTube channels and other accounts tied to state-linked propagandacampaigns 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-controlledmedia 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. 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. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/21/youtube-channels-propaganda-china-russia.html (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ✧*:・゚ ⁱᵐ'ᵐᵃ ʰⁱᵗ ᵈᵉᶠʳᵒˢᵗ ᵒⁿ ʸᵃ, ˡᵉᵗ'ˢ ᵍᵉᵗ ⁱᵗ ᵇˡᵃᶻⁱⁿᵍ﹗ (*´艸`*) ♡♡♡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
