YouTube terminates Sansad TV account for 'violating community guidelines'

New Delhi, Feb 15: The YouTube account of Sansad TV, which broadcasts live proceedings of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha as well as recorded programs, was “terminated” by the platform early Tuesday morning “for violating YouTube’s Community Guidelines”.

 

It was, however, not immediately clear which guidelines had been violated by the YouTube channel. It should be noted that spam and deceptive practices, sensitive content, fake engagement, child safety, impersonation, nudity and sexual content, suicide and self-injury, and vulgar language among others are the reasons for which YouTube suspends the playback of a video or terminates the account.

 

The reports also suggest that Sansad TV's YouTube channel had been hacked and the name was changed to Ethereum.
