Right-wing radio commentator, Dan Bongino has been permanently suspended from YouTube for trying to evade a previous suspension.
“We terminated Dan Bongino’s channels for circumventing our Terms of Service by posting a video while there was an active strike and suspension associated with the account,” a spokesperson for YouTube said. “When a channel receives a strike, it is against our Terms of Service to post content or use another channel to circumvent the suspension. If a channel is terminated, the uploader is unable to use, own or create any other YouTube channels.”
Bongino’s account was slapped with a seven day suspension on Jan. 20 for violating YouTube’s COVID-19 misinformation policy. The main channel for The Dan Bongino Show then uploaded content within the seven-day suspension period, which led to the termination of both channels.
According to The Hill, Bongino had announced plans to leave YouTube for Rumble, a YouTube competitor that is a favorite among right wing commentators who complained of anti-conservative bias on big tech platforms.
The Dan Bongino Show has over 2 million subscribers on Rumble.
