YouTube Permanently Bans White Supremacist Group That Was Promoted At 2016 Republican Convention

Jared Holt reports at Right Wing Watch:

YouTube terminated the account on its platform used by white nationalist hate group VDARE for violating the site’s policies against hate speech, a YouTube spokesperson told Right Wing Watch. This time last year, VDARE was suspended and reinstated on the platform, but a YouTube spokesperson told RWW that this suspension is permanent.

“A false-positive review resulted in the prior termination and reinstatement,” a YouTube spokesperson told RWW.

According to YouTube, VDARE’s account “VDARE TV” violated its policies by alleging that members of protected groups were innately inferior to others and by linking to hateful content off-platform, among other violations.

VDARE is named for Virginia Dare, who is believed to be the first white child born in what would become the United States. At the 2016 GOP convention, several of their tweets were posted on the arena’s message board, something they continue to boast about in their Twitter profile.
