CNBC- Google announced Monday the removal of nearly 11,000 YouTube channels and other accounts tied to state-linked propaganda campaigns from China, Russia and more in the second quarter.

The takedown included more than 7,700 YouTube channels linked to China.

These campaigns primarily shared content in Chinese and English that promoted the People's Republic of China, supported President Xi Jinping and commented on U.S. foreign affairs.

Over 2,000 removed channels were linked to Russia. The content was in multiple languages that supported Russia and criticized Ukraine, NATO and the West.

Google, in May, removed 20 YouTube channels, 4 Ads accounts, and 1 Blogger blog linked to RT, the Russian state controlled media outlet accused of paying prominent conservative influencers for social media content ahead of the 2024 election.

Tim Pool, Dave Rubin and Benny Johnson — all staunch supporters of President Donald Trump — made content for Tenent Media, the Tennessee company described in the indictment, according to NBC News.

YouTube began blocking RT channels in March 2022, shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine.

The active removal of accounts is part of the Google Threat Analysis Group's work to counter global disinformation campaigns and "coordinated influence" operations.

Google's second quarter report also outlined the removal of influence campaigns linked to Azerbaijan, Iran, Turkey, Israel, Romania and Ghana that were found to be targeting political rivals.

Some campaigns centered on growing geopolitical conflicts, including narratives on both sides of the Israel-Palestine War.

"The findings from the most recent update are in line with our expectations of this regular and ongoing work," a YouTube spokesperson said in a statement.

Google took down more than 23,000 accounts in the first quarter.

Meta announced last week it removed about 10 million profiles for impersonating large content producers through the first half of 2025 as part of an effort by the company to combat "spammy content."

I doubt YouTube actually removed them, but Chinese propaganda videos are often just sponsored videos from Western YouTubers.

I wish there was a way to actually track this. That’d be the most telling thing.

 

[Dr. Butt]

Would like to see the liberal/leftist/Dem channels removed. Fuck them.

Both sides hate women

Yet somehow they didn't touch this looney cunts pro north korean propaganda channel

I like it when they have zero political commentary yet somehow are still strangely political. It's funny because this nigga always has titles like "BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAIN VILLAGE." Still, all his videos are of him in the middle of buttfuck nowhere in China and just walking around silently and exposing the good/bad of China's daily living. It's kinda funny to see actual Chinese rural folk shitting outside and doing usual rural shit, yet live in real shitty bug hives. At the same time, everyone looks chubby and miserable, chain smoking 24/7, waiting for the sweet release of death.

The guy really visits every single non-tourist Chinese area, and it's kind of interesting to watch.

A recurring theme is that western governments always try to create a big bad villain
to distract people from reality

and these news channels and sites cannot understand that internet access makes these bullshit not work anymore. I mean yes it will still effect some people.
like Liberals are dumbfucks who still think CNBC, MSNBC and CNN are credible news sources. but this also applies to conservatives that listen to Ben Shapiro who does the same bullshit CNBC, MSNBC and CNN does.


Because lets face it, Western civilizations have ALOT of issues which everyone knows is an issue, except conveniently the mainstream news

- Illegal Immigration
- Epstein list
- Californian Slave Labor
- Active destruction of western identity in European countries through forced immigration
- London Grooming Gangs

All these are big issues that SHOULD be solved firsthand but nah
Government and Mainstream media be like...

"GUYS, EVERYONE! CHINA IS MAKING PROPAGANDA VIDEOS AND THEY ARE THREATENING OUR FREEDOM AND INTERNET SOVEREIGNTY"
"GUYS, EVERYONE! RUSSIA IS MAKING PROPAGANDA VIDEOS AND THEY ARE THE WRONG FORM OF COMMUNISM, WHEREAS OUR SOCIALIST AND COMMUNIST LIBERALS KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING"
"GUYS, EVERYONE! ISRAEL is our dear friend and isnt doing anything wrong whatsoever, anything you say and do is ANTISEMITIC, REMEMBER THE HOLOCAUST, GUYS THE HOLOCAUST, ITS REAL EVERYONE, THE HOLOCAUST, PLEASE THE HOLOCAUST"

Don't forget "GUYS, EVERYONE! IRAN IS MOMENTS AWAY FROM GETTING A NUKE AND WIPING US OUT, OUR INTELLIGENCE EXPERTS SAID SO"

The economy in China isn't good, but it isn't as if the west is doing much better.
My bet is the UK is going to shit itself first.

The last time to buy into the China collapse hype was during the early days of covid when there was so much being pushed of Chinamen dropping dead and the government vanning random citizens. Then all of that just kind of disappeared in a couple months when the lockdown propaganda spun up in the west. Weird, huh? Then the next narrative was the three gorges dam is going to explode shit, when even laser sat data shows it's going nowhere.

 

[The Lawgiver]

anything you say and do is ANTISEMITIC, REMEMBER THE HOLOCAUST, GUYS THE HOLOCAUST, ITS REAL EVERYONE, THE HOLOCAUST, PLEASE THE HOLOCAUST"

Reminder the reason the holocaust was even viewed as terrible in the first place was it was euro governments imprisoning and killing their own citizens, and the only big tie between them and isreal is they're both jewish.

Good can it her rid of AI slop next please.

Only once they can find a good narrative of how tung tung tung sahur is a china/russia MISINFORMATION DEEPFAKE CAMPAIGN.

the next narrative was the three gorges dam is going to explode shit, when even laser sat data shows it's going nowhere.

That wasn't really a narrative from what I remember so much as it was people having morbid humor about the three gorges dam having issues that at the time seemed like it would likely result in a collapse and massive flooding. The corona outbreak thing had already hit as well as the SARS shit and it just seemed like china was getting hit with all kinds of bullshit misfortune due to a mix of government saving face instead of dealing with shit till it got super bad and lack of funding to certain infrastructure.
