Google said it disabled 210 YouTube channels linked to a disinformation campaign about Hong Kong. However, it stopped short of blaming China.
Google stopped short of calling out China after disabling 210 YouTube channels linked to a coordinated disinformation campaign about the protests in Hong Kong. Twitter and Facebook also banned accounts on their platforms this week, but clearly linked the perpetrators to the Chinese state. Google's apparent reticence could ignite criticism, from prominent figures like Peter Thiel, of the company's ties to Beijing.
