Google says it took action against 75 YouTube channels linked to Iranian individuals and media outlets under US sanctions, including the state-run Fars news agency. The company stated the move followed a review of reports on activity by accounts associated with sanctioned Iranian entities.
Google says it removed more than 75 YouTube channels identified as connected to individuals, media outlets, and entities on the US sanctions list targeting Iran. The action included the state-run Fars news agency, one of the largest Iranian media organizations. Google said the move followed a review of reports on activity by sanctioned-linked accounts. Fars has previously been designated by the US Treasury for its role in Iranian propaganda and influence operations, as The Zioneer has reported. The enforcement comes amid broader US economic and cyber pressure on Iranian state-aligned media networks.
