Google, the owners of YouTube, has removed a channel on the platform belonging to a pro-Iran group producing Lego-themed videos mocking Donald Trump.

“Upon review, we’ve terminated the channel for violating our Spam, deceptive practices and scams policies,” a YouTube spokesperson told Middle East Eye.

“YouTube doesn’t allow spam, scams, or other deceptive practices that take advantage of the YouTube community.”

Explosive Media’s content largely consists of animations ridiculing the US war effort against Iran and poking fun at the US president.

    TIL .ml loves mass-spam of genAI slopaganda if it’s in support of a cause they’re aligned with. Good to know.

        Not even a little surprised that tankies – the fucking cognoscenti of rhetoric that pretends to care about a bad thing, masking that the real goal is for “their side” to have a monopoly on the bad thing – lack consistent ethics when it comes to destroying the planet and flooding out human-made media for shitty, braindead, dubiously effective propaganda.

          Yes, marxist-leninists are pro-AI. Our goal is victory for the working class, and we will use any tool at our disposal to win.

          But oh no, the moralizing radlib (dubious “morals” that somehow always ignore their own genocides) has appeared. Status quo defence at any cost is the goal of the radlibs, this includes preserving hollywood’s propaganda monopoly.

          And the more our enemies tell us not to use it, the more we’re proven right. It scares them that the people have access to this power. They hate it when the people have power, and smear it by calling it “populism”.

          Radlibs hate democracy.

          But you can’t win. You could destroy all the AI in the west, we won’t care. Because the real good AI comes from china. And you can never defeat china.

          lack consistent ethics

          Consistent ethics is when I declare all sides bad and ignore geopolitical context

          destroying the planet

          The tankies is China are creating the first electrostate in human history and installing more renewables energy capacity than all of the lib states

          flooding out human-made media

          It’s the tankies that are doing this (not big tech). I am smart

            Quick username question: opinions on North Korea? Since we’re on the whole “shitty ethics” thing.

                Sounds a lot like: “We broadly support North Korea, but that’s too embarrassing to say directly, so we’ll just shitpost about it like a neo-Nazi would when asked a direct question about their abhorrent beliefs – afraid of frightening away the normies by revealing their ‘power level’.”

                It’s comforting to me that you have to carry the level of shame that your beliefs are unspeakable in spaces dominated by sane people – and are barely even speakable in this deranged hellhole for fear that your monstrous beliefs will surface above the irony poisoning and scare away the few people with functioning consciences who stumbled into this from the front page.

          not even a little surprised that libs chuck their free speech absolutism the moment that speech is against the lib status quo. to defend a pedophile regime this time, no less.

          i mean come on, that slop ship you describe has sailed and being a luddite about it will just put you at a disadvantage.

      genAI has predominantly been pushed by the US, particularly the super wealthy in the US, so that they can exploit the working class even more and pay them even less. As much as I hate genAI, seeing Iran, who was absolutely the wronged party in this completely illegal and unnecessary war of imperialist aggression on behalf of a genocidal ethnostate, turn the tool of the oppressors against them, and using it to agitate for class consciousness in the USA, is just fucking awesome, IMO.

      Did you see the anti-Trump rap one? It actually goes so fucking hard.
