Google has deleted more than 2,500 YouTube channels associated with China. Tech giants say that these channels have been removed from the video-sharing platform for spreading misleading information. Alphabet-owned company Google said that these YouTube channels were removed from YouTube between April and June. This was done as part of our ongoing investigation for influenza operations involving China.
YouTube reported that spammy, non-political content was usually posted on these channels. But there were also some things related to politics. Google gave this information in its quarterly bulletin of the operation running for misleading information.
Although Google did not disclose the names of these channels, it gave some other information. The company said that links to videos with similar activity were seen on Twitter. Social media analytics company Graphika identified them in the Disinformation campaign in April.
The Chinese Embassy in the United States has not yet commented on this. China has earlier denied all allegations related to misleading and spreading false information.
Explain that companies like Google and Facebook are constantly giving misleading information and updates on fake news to show how they are fighting online propaganda. Several attempts have been made in the last 4 years to avoid repeating online propaganda in the US presidential election in 2016. In its bulletin, Google also mentioned the activities related to Iran and Russia.
It is worth noting that recently, India has also banned many Chinese applications. Apart from this, many other Chinese apps are being closely monitored. Chinese short video platform TikTok has also been banned in China.
