YouTube bans anti-vaccination videos from running advertisements

YouTube said Friday that it will ban channels that promote content that advocates against vaccination from running advertisements.

A spokesperson for the company told BuzzFeed News in a statement that such content conflicts with its policy prohibiting the monetization of videos that contain “dangerous and harmful” material.

“We have strict policies that govern what videos we allow ads to appear on, and videos that promote anti-vaccination content are a violation of those policies,” the representative told the outlet.

“We enforce these policies vigorously, and if we find a video that violates them, we immediately take action and remove ads," they added.
