YouTube Sparks Outcry After Terminating Belle Delphine's YouTube Channel Without Warning
Noted e-girl, OnlyFans creator and bath water entrepreneur Belle Delphine had her YouTube channel terminated allegedly without warning, causing a public outcry among her vast online fanbase.
The termination went into effect in the past 24 hours; viewers attempting to access her channel will now be met with a message saying, "This account has been terminated due to multiple or severe violations of YouTube’s policy on nudity or sexual content." Delphine had amassed 1.79 million subscribers before today.
Some fans assumed the termination may have had something to do with her "I'm Back" music video in which she danced in revealing outfits and announced her OnlyFans. Quote-tweeting Keemstar, Delphine asked YouTube why her channel was terminated without warning when Cardi B and Meghan Thee Stallion's WAP video, which features a similar level of sexual provocativeness, remains on the site and trended on the platform.
hey @TeamYouTube why was my youtube account terminated with no warning/no strikes for 'sexual content' when you allow and promote songs like 'W.A.P'? seems a lil sus https://t.co/qzn7R7CzSi

Belle Delphine getting banned on youtube is seriously messed up. Nobody should support that shit. The double standard of Youtube when the videos they've had on their FRONT page is on equal if not worse than Belle's music videos makes zero sense to me.

There is nothing more annoying than all the people on Twitter rushing to tell the world how little they care.

The rules regarding policy enforcement on YouTube might as well all have a disclaimer saying: "These rules may be overridden by us if we feel like fucking you in the ass. Have a nice day, asshole."

Terminating users without due process is extremely serious and warrants aggressive corrective action. If it happened to Belle Delphine, it can happen to anyone; this sets a horrendous precedent and is irrelevant to one's opinion of the specific victim in question.
And DON'T give me the "private business" excuse here; YouTube is a global platform used by BILLIONS of people, and its management needs to be checked and balanced.

You're telling a libertarian not to point out that its a private business and to endorse government stepping in to make management decisions for their company.

The YouTube platform as a whole has very obviously not been a private business for a very long time.

Man, that site has really gone down the drain, hasn't it?

they are starting to realize that they can do what ever they want, cause they have a virtual monopoly on videos
