While a disturbing amount of really gross child-fetish videos exist on YouTube, the termination of Toy Freaks is still a win, even when we consider how long it actually took the company to shut it down. Corporate greed is a frightening thing.
YouTube terminated a channel with over 8.5 million subscribers; Toy Freaks – who made creepy videos aimed at kids. Biggest channel termination, ever. pic.twitter.com/j04BQSFS6L

Toy Freaks removal apparently the biggest channel termination ever. But why did it take us flagging its videos for action to be taken? @Google had to have known that one of its most popular channels was posting exploitative, shocking (and monetised) content for years. https://t.co/mJJRQefEqQ

Hopefully the company will stay true to their “values,” which include removing videos harmful to viewers and especially children. Regardless of how much bank they are making off them.
