One America News Network has been banned for YouTube for one week after posting a bogus video about a cure for Covid-19.
The far-right network, which has been an outspoken backer of President Donald Trump, will not be allowed to post original videos or participate in the platform’s revenue-producing partner program during the suspension. Trump has recently urged his supporters to tune into the lightly viewed Oan rather than Fox News, which he has sparred with throughout 2020, especially after Fox called the state of Arizona for Joe Biden.
“Since early in this pandemic, we’ve worked to prevent the spread of harmful misinformation associated with Covid-19 on YouTube,” YouTube spokesperson Ivy Choi said in a statement provided to Deadline. “After careful review, we removed a video from Oann and issued a strike on the channel for violating our Covid-19 misinformation policy, which prohibits content claiming there’s a guaranteed cure.

YouTube has removed a video from the channel belonging to Oann -- a far-right news network that stands for One America News Network -- and also issued a strike against the channel for violating its Covid-19 misinformation policies.
“Early on in this pandemic, we’ve worked to prevent the spread of harmful misinformation associated with Covid-19 on YouTube,” YouTube spokesperson Ivy Choi tells Tubefilter in a statement. “After careful review, we removed a video from Oann and issued a strike on the channel for violating our Covid-19 misinformation policy, which prohibits content claiming there’s a guaranteed cure."
Furthermore, Choi says that “due to repeated violations of our Covid-19 misinformation policy and other channel monetization policies, we've suspended the channel from the YouTube Partner Program and as a result, its monetization on YouTube.”
Oann had previously received a warning for transmitting Covid misinformation, YouTube says, and at the time received a warning.

YouTube has temporarily suspended and demonetized the channel for pro-Trump outlet One America News Network. Oann will be barred from publishing videos and live streams for one week, and will need to reapply to the YouTube Partner Program to regain its monetization status.
The suspension is the first “strike” for Oann under YouTube’s terms of service. YouTube uses a three-strike system, with repeat offenders ultimately being removed from the video platform.
