YouTube removes news channel with vague reference to 'Community Guidelines': YouTube removed the MAVERICK NEWS YouTube channel for what it labeled as repeated violations of its Community Guidelines. "We have reviewed your content and found severe or repeated violations of our Community Guidelines," wrote YouTube in a message to the channel. "Because of this, we removed your channel from YouTube." Lori Spencer, a reporter with MAVERICK, issued a statement on X challenging YouTube's allegations and describing the act of censorship as a "coordinated attack." "YouTube just removed our 3rd Maverick News channel today. (3rd time this week!) YT says there were 'severe and repeated violations of the community guidelines,' which just isn’t true," wrote Spencer. "We do responsible journalism & comply with the platform rules. This is a coordinated attack."
