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.

      Still kills me how SMALL of an amount of money that is.

      The 45 million is absolutely nothing. It’s a tip. There’s a deeper, more heinous connection here.

    I swear, the amount of times I’ve been saying “cut off the crap” while reading the news… Google as typical calling everyone stupid by proxy. Because yes, when people (or corporations) expect you to swallow a blatant lie, that’s what they’re calling you, stupid.

    I hope this stuff has been uploaded elsewhere, and that Streisand effect goes full force.

        Wow. I checked both; the first seems to be an abridged version of the second video, that left me genuinely impressed. AI or not AI, it’s well damn made propaganda: depicting Trump’s allies as clowns, showing his allegiance is to the Zionist State of Israel instead of USA, catchy song, they even call him a cuck and say “talk real big for a man with tiny hands, tiny hands, tiny things, tiny everything” (Trump throws hissy fits if someone reminds him he has a tiny dick).

        It’s doing a lot in three minutes: mocking the people in power in USA, throwing Trump’s base against him (note the ones spamming “cuck lol lmao” are usually the right, not the left), and even souring relations between USA and Israel.

        It shows how well prepared Iran was to this war.

          Yup, there must have been quite a bit of editing and effort put into them… more so than the usual slop you normally see.
