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.

Most will choose virtuous arguments of middleastern troubles, or rationalise they need Youtube, rather than admit the truth of the real problem. It is practicing propaganda and censorship, whilst making money from you.

This is exactly what the rich want, people occupied with distraction and communism. Here is a way to make a difference. Call to action: Get rid of YouTube.
