YouTube has terminated the official account of Sansad TV, which broadcasts live proceedings of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, for allegedly violating its community guidelines.
It was, however, not immediately clear which guidelines had been violated by the YouTube channel.
The Sansad TV said that its management was also alerted about the incident by the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In), the nodal agency for responding to cyber security incidents in India.
Screenshots of Sansad TV’s YouTube account shared on social media showed message that “This account has been terminated for violating YouTube’s community guidelines”.
As per YouTube, its community guidelines outline “what type of content isn’t allowed” on the platform, and apply to all kinds of content including videos, comments on the videos, as well as the links and thumbnails.
According to the platform, it enforces these guidelines equally for everyone by “using a combination of human reviewers and machine learning”.
