**You Tube, which is owned by Google, confirmed to The Intercept that it deleted the groups’ accounts as a direct result of State Department sanctions against the group after a review. The Trump administration leveled the sanctions against the organizations in September over their work with the International Criminal Court in cases charging Israeli officials of war crimes.

“Google is committed to compliance with applicable sanctions and trade compliance laws,” YouTube spokesperson Boot Bullwinkle said in a statement.**

It is high time people moved to peertube.tv.

      Who reads any article these days? Only total losers and bozos read anything more than the headline.

      (I read a different article that was much shorter from reddit, then saw this headline)
