Candace Owens suspended from YouTube after Kanye West interview violates hate speech policies
Far-right commentator Candace Owens announced she has been suspended from YouTube after she violated the platform’s hate speech policies with the rapper’s interview

Controversial commentator Candace Owens has been suspended from YouTube after sharing her 2022 interview with Kanye West that claimed “Jewish people control the media.”

The far-right commentator decried the move in an announcement on X, where she revealed she’s been suspended from the platform for one week because the interview with the artist — which was finally published last month — violated the platform’s hate speech policies.

“There will be no show today, or at all this week. That’s because @YouTube has issued me a strike and a one week suspension for my sit down with Kanye,” she said. “They also removed the interview as ‘hate speech’, as it was mass reported by Zionists. Their tactics never change.”

Sharing a screenshot of the notification she received from YouTube, the streaming giant said the episode “violates our hate speech policies” as it does not allow “content containing conspiratorial claims that individuals or groups are evil, corrupt or malicious based on their protected group status.”

YouTube added in the notice: “Specifically, the video in question contains claims that Jewish people control the media.”
