YouTube Bans Several High-Profile White Supremacist Channels

YouTube has permanently banned six high-profile white supremacist channels for violating its hate speech policies. This action is part of YouTube's ongoing efforts, initiated in 2019, to remove supremacist content. Since then, over 25,000 channels have been terminated. Richard Spencer, one of the banned individuals, plans to appeal the decision, suggesting it is a coordinated effort following George Floyd's death. Other platforms like Facebook and Reddit are also taking steps to combat hate speech, with Facebook removing posts that incite violence and Reddit updating its content policy.
