“I’m a history teacher, not someone who promotes hatred.”
Allsop launched his original educational resource channel in 2006. He recently started a new channel specifically for archival footage, which included newsreel footage of Hitler’s speeches. That’s the channel that was banned Wednesday.The channel was replaced Wednesday evening with the message,"This account has been terminated due to multiple or severe violations of YouTube's policy prohibiting hate speech.
“I had every intention of appealing each of these, since the videos, especially in the context of the rest of the channel, were clearly for educational purposes,” he said. “However I’ve been really busy preparing my students for exams so was waiting until a quieter time to do so.” YouTube’s policy announcement on Wednesday identified several kinds of videos now prohibited on the platform. “This would include, for example, videos that promote or glorify Nazi ideology, which is inherently discriminatory. Finally, we will remove content denying that well-documented violent events, like the Holocaust or the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary, took place,” the company explained in a blog post.
As the policy started to take effect Wednesday, creators started tweeting screenshots of emails from YouTube notifying them that they were in violation of the new policy.
