YouTube bans misleading videos… Yes you heard it right. Youtube has pledged to delete misleading claims about coronavirus vaccines as part of new practice to tackle Covid-19 misinformation.
It said any videos that contradict expert consensus from local health authorities, such as the NHS or World Health Organization, will be removed. It follows an announcement by Facebook that it would ban ads that discourage people from getting vaccinated.
YouTube had already banned “medically unsubstantiated” claims relating to coronavirus on its platform.
But it is now explicitly expanding the policy to include content relating to vaccines.
