YouTube stops channels running anti-vaccination videos from running ads

YouTube has announced that it will no longer allow monetising channels, which promote anti-vaccination content after it was found that ads, including some from health companies, were running alongside anti-vaccination videos.

YouTube told BuzzFeed News that such videos fall under the category of ‘dangerous and harmful’ content and it will prohibit the monetization of such videos. The move comes after advertisers pulled their ads from anti-vaccination videos.
