According to YouTube’s policy, age restriction occurs when the Google-owned platform determines that content contains “Child safety” concerns, “Harmful or dangerous activities, including regulated substances and drugs,” “Nudity and sexually suggestive content,” “Violent or graphic content,” and/or “Vulgar language.”
Zemmour’s announcement does not appear to explicitly violate any of these themes. YouTube, however, did not immediately respond to the Federalist’s questions about what specifically in the video reportedly violated the community guidelines.
Searches of Zemmour’s video were also reportedly subdued on YouTube.
Il faut désormais présenter ses papiers d'identité pour avoir le droit de regarder la vidéo de ma déclaration de candidature. La police de la pensée ne se cache même plus : elle exhibe sa nature tyrannique. Le vrai combat commence. pic.twitter.com/UfaEsj9C1a
