Bongino Banned
-
YouTube on Wednesday permanently banned conservative commentator Dan Bongino from the platform, saying he attempted to evade a previous suspension.
The Fox host uploaded a video to his main channel while his secondary channel, which primarily hosted short clips from his digital radio show, was actively suspended for violating YouTube’s COVID-19 misinformation policy.
“When a channel receives a strike, it is against our Terms of Service to post content or use another channel to circumvent the suspension,” a YouTube spokesperson told The Hill.
Both of Bongino’s channels have been removed and he will not be able to create a new one in the future, the platform said.
The weeklong posting suspension stems from a video where Bongino said that masks are “useless” in stopping the spread of the disease.
YouTube’s COVID-19 policy specifically prohibits content denying the effectiveness of wearing masks, which the vast majority of the scientific community agrees reduces the risk of infection.
The video was Bongino’s first “strike” under the policy, resulting in a one-week suspension from posting.
If the Bongino account violates the policy again within a 90-day window, a two-week suspension would be applied. If a third violation were accrued in the same timeframe, the channel would be permanently removed.

I have to admit, I have absolutely no idea who half of these banned people even are.
I've never heard of this guy. Is he important on a scale of 1-10? (1 being that bloke who cycles around our town aimlessly, and 10 being John Coltrane)
I was only joking

He shows up on the fox news shows and has his own
This banning will increase his standing

Great. I was just thinking there weren't enough of these people.

Bongino took over Rush Limbaugh’s spot on a lot of radio stations…
