New York Google announced Thursday that it had disabled 210 YouTube channels that were uploading videos"in a coordinated manner" about the ongoing protests in Hong Kong.
The announcement came three days after Twitter and Facebook announced they had shut down a network of hundreds of accounts that were posting content aimed at undermining pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong. Some of the accounts posed as news organizations and independent entities but in fact had links to the Chinese government, both companies said.
