For what it's worth, this is probably an automated process: if an active YouTube channel has 100k subscribers and hasn't yet been flagged as abusive, it automatically can get this status. The channel was later demonetized and videos taken down, but it's not clear that YouTube has yet made any changes to prevent this from recurring.
The channel's videos were flagged for abuse. I know, because I have flagged the violent ones & so have many other people.
Neither google/ youtube nor meta/ (facebook, instagram, whatsapp), nor X take down violent Hindu extremeist content until and unless the issue is raised by well-known foreign media (indian independent media carries no weight with them and Indian mainstream media creates & spreads Islamophobia night & day) or when Indian police decide to act.
WSJ has been consistently raising & chasing Meta, X, and Youtube on this for years now, since 2020. When it gets too hot for them, the SM co.s close/ suspend the hate & violence filled a/cs fr a shot while, and then reinstate them when the heat is off. This behaviour of theirs is also documented.
There is no doubt, in my mind, that they'll do the same for Monu Manesar's a/cs and other Hindu extremeist a/c,s.
To be fair, this is the case for most things. They don't give a shit what's on their platform unless it's causing bad PR or harming their relationships with advertisers
Their inaction is enabling the genocide of Indian Muslims and Indian Christians.
