YouTube temporarily suspends Rudy Giuliani because of US election misinformation
YouTube suspended Rudy Giuliani, former President Trump’s lawyer, from its ad partner program after he shared misinformation about the 2020 US election several times. In his videos, he has made numerous unfounded claims about the election being stolen and President Joe Biden being a criminal. In practical terms, Giuliani will not be able to make money from ads on his videos for at least a month. Giuliani had also been temporarily suspended from uploading videos for a week – although this measure has already expired.
