**You Tube, which is owned by Google, confirmed to The Intercept that it deleted the groups’ accounts as a direct result of State Department sanctions against the group after a review. The Trump administration leveled the sanctions against the organizations in September over their work with the International Criminal Court in cases charging Israeli officials of war crimes.

“Google is committed to compliance with applicable sanctions and trade compliance laws,” YouTube spokesperson Boot Bullwinkle said in a statement.**

It is high time people moved to peertube.tv.

    I’m not a big YouTuber but I do follow a few accounts. I’m going to contact them and let them know about the possibility of Peertube.tv.

    Hopefully they won’t see it as much more effort to upload their content to two places, but we’ll see!
