YouTube Quietly Erased More Than 700 Videos Documenting Israeli Human Rights Violations (2025)

#1

Pada 4 November 2025, The Intercept melaporkan bahwa:

A documentary featuring mothers surviving Israel’s genocide in Gaza. A video investigation uncovering Israel’s role in the killing of a Palestinian American journalist. Another video revealing Israel’s destruction of Palestinian homes in the occupied West Bank.

YouTube surreptitiously deleted all these videos in early October by wiping the accounts that posted them from its website, along with their channels’ archives. The accounts belonged to three prominent Palestinian human rights groups: Al-Haq, Al Mezan Center for Human Rights, and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights.


Tindakan YouTube ini disebut sebagai respons dari upaya pemerintah Amerika Serikat untuk menghalangi akuntabilitas atas tuduhan kejahatan perang yang dilakukan Israel.
