YouTube Crypto Ban Imposed Again

Proceeding with its bans, YouTube has deleted two videos from two separate crypto channels.

Ivan on Tech, a crypto programmer, tweeted than on March 9, YouTube removed one of his videos. The Moon, a technical analyst and news reporter, said the content platform deleted one of his creations on March 10.

Many accounts were banned from YouTube in 2019

Different crypto YouTubers came under bans and strikes near the end of 2019, some of them being Chris Dunn, Crypto Beadles and Altcoin Daily. Chris Dunn stated that YouTube banned his channel for “harmful or dangerous content” and the “sale of regulated goods.”

In December, responding to The Moon, YouTube said the bans were imposed by mistake:

“Hey there, this was an error on our side during the review process — your video should be reinstated and strikes resolved. Let us know if you’re seeing otherwise!”

When YouTubers started to speak out, the platform revived some of the erased videos and accounts.

The media platform’s bans are back

YouTube has reportedly started to ban crypto content again. Ivan on Tech said he received a strike for his removed video, while The Moon said YouTube threatened him with a strike after removing his video.

“The crypto purge is STILL HAPPENING, & this is the second time I have to deal with this,” The Moon said in a tweet.

In a different category, BNP Paribas bank also imposed a crypto-related ban recently, preventing its clients from transferring crypto to Coinbase.
