Google has finally bowed to pressure to ban accounts spreading misinformation about Hong Kong protests. In a recent blog post, the tech company revealed that they disabled 210 YouTube channels. According to them, the accounts “behaved in a coordinated manner while uploading videos related to the ongoing protests in Hong Kong.”

Google says the behaviour of these YouTube channels exhibited behaviours “consistent with recent observations and actions related to China announced by Facebook and Twitter.” However, the two social media companies recently suspended accounts that they believed that the Chinese government operated. They also accused these accounts of misrepresenting and undermining the Hong Kong protests.

Twitter went ahead to suspend about 1,000 accounts tied to China. Facebook on its part removed pages, groups and accounts linked to the protests that it said reached over 17,000 users.

However, a rep from Google’s Threat Analysis group, Shane Huntley said:

“We found the use of VPNs and other methods to disguise the origin of these accounts and other activity commonly associated with coordinated influence operations. These actions are part of our continuing efforts to protect the integrity of our platforms and the security and privacy of our users.”

Google expressed their plans of continuing to protect the integrity of the YouTube platform. Additionally, they want to ensure the security and privacy of the users. Google says its team “will continue to identify bad actors and terminate their accounts. It will also share relevant information with law enforcement and others in the industry.”
