Google, the owners of YouTube, has removed a channel on the platform belonging to a pro-Iran group producing Lego-themed videos mocking Donald Trump.

"Upon review, we’ve terminated the channel for violating our Spam, deceptive practices and scams policies," a YouTube spokesperson told Middle East Eye.

"YouTube doesn’t allow spam, scams, or other deceptive practices that take advantage of the YouTube community."

Explosive Media's content largely consists of animations ridiculing the US war effort against Iran and poking fun at the US president.

YouTube did not specify how the channel had violated its policies, but the company has previously been described as being "aligned with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps".

Pathetic

"Listen, please stop asking us to clarify. You're making it really hard for us. The White House demanded we ban them and I'm not supposed to say that publicly."

"The company later clarified that, 'It hurt someone's fee-fees.'"

Well that's a fucking lie, so we can probably assume whatever else they come out with to try and cover their asses will be one too.
