YouTube fails to remove video falsely declaring Trump victory
Source: The Guardian
YouTube has been criticised for failing to remove a video wrongly claiming that Donald Trump won Tuesdays US presidential election, despite acknowledging it contains demonstrably false information.
The Google-owned site has instead disabled adverts on the video, produced by the far-right TV channel One America News Network. A spokesperson said: We remove ads from videos that contain content that is demonstrably false about election results, like this video.
The video, which has been viewed almost 400,000 times since it was posted on Wednesday, opens with the channels anchor, Christina Bobb, declaring: President Trump won four more years in office last night.
Bobb goes on to say that a number of states where the voting has yet to be completed, including Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, are all Trumps
This is a decisive victory for Trump. She accuses the Democrat leadership of Pennsylvania and Michigan of stopping the vote counts, because they need time to find more ballots.
