Candace Owens shared that she YouTube The channel has been suspended due to anti-Semitic comments from Ye aka Kanye West last month.
On Monday (September 9), conservative media personality Candace Owens shared that YouTube had shut down her channel for seven days. She stated that Ye aka Kanye West's appearance on her show in August was the reason. “There will be no show today or at all this week. That's why @YouTube has issued me a strike and a one week suspension for my sit down with Kanye. They also removed the interview as “hate speech” as reported by Zionists en masse. Their tactics never change,” she wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter. He also shared screenshots of the messages he received from YouTube.
The comment in question was Ye claiming that Jews control the media.” Owens felt that a recent conversation she had with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach on Piers Morgan's show led to her channel being suspended and delegitimized. The channel currently has 2.4 million followers. “People know why I'm being targeted and honestly, I've never felt more confident that I'm the right person to make this happen,” she added in another X post.
“So far, I've had zero warnings on my @YouTubeCreators account,” he said, continuing: “I've now been flooded with 3 consecutive content hits within minutes, plus an email saying I'm now fully paid. We all know exactly who is behind this and why.” The suspension is a blow to Owens, who was fired from The Daily Wire after a public spat with co-founder Ben Shapiro over Israel and anti-Semitism.
A YouTube spokesperson confirmed the suspension to New York Post. “We have suspended channels associated with Candace Owens from the YouTube Partner Program following repeated violations of our policies, including our Advertiser Friendly Guidelines and Community Guidelines,” Jack Malon said in a statement. The statement went on to say that it would no longer be able to monetize the platform, but creators could reapply in 90 days.
