A Youtube spokesperson said the website had taken steps against Sky, including removing videos from the media outlet’s online channel and issuing a ‘strike’ against it, causing it to be temporarily suspended from uploading new content.
“We have clear and established COVID-19 medical misinformation policies
based on local and global health authority guidance, to prevent the
spread of COVID-19 misinformation that could cause real-world harm,” a
YouTube spokesperson said in a statement.
YouTube has not said what videos published
by Sky it removed, but the platform doesn’t allow content medical
misinformation about COVID-19 “that poses a serious risk of egregious
harm in contradiction with local and global health authorities’ guidance
about COVID-19 treatment, prevention, transmission, and social
distancing.”

Federal MPs Craig Kelly and George Christensen have claimed YouTube’s week-long ban for Sky News Australia is “censorship”, while the channel slammed the tech giant for a “disturbing assault on freedom of thought”. As The New Daily reported on Sunday, YouTube has restricted the account of Sky News – one of the biggest channels in Australia, with more than 1.86 million subscribers – for a week and deleted several of its videos, as part of a crackdown on COVID-19 ‘misinformation’.
