YouTube said it removed more than 300 Trump campaign ads, CBS' "60 Minutes" reported. The president has long accused Silicon Valley of being anti-GOP.
YouTube has removed hundreds of ads for President Donald Trump's re-election campaign for violating its policies, an investigation by CBS News'"60 Minutes" program has found.
"60 Minutes" said it was unable to establish if the adverts were removed because they contained false claims, copyright violations, or simply grammatical errors, noting that it found"very little transparency in the transparency report." A prominent example is Russia's massive operation to spread fake news to help Trump's election in 2016.Regardless, Trump and Republican activists have long alleged anti-conservative bias in major Silicon Valley companies, with Trump hosting a"social media summit" at the White House in July, where he invited far-right conspiracy theorists and conservative propagandists but not social media companies.
