YouTube suspends channel uploading video testimonials from people who say their families have disappeared in China's Xinjiang region: YouTube reportedly disabled a channel that uploaded videos featuring testimonials from people who say their families have disappeared in China's Xinjiang region. The account was disabled for three days until Reuters inquired with YouTube about the channel's removal, at which point it was reinstated. YouTube reportedly blocked the channel for violating its guidelines around cyberbullying and harassment, according to Reuters. Part of that policy prohibits personally identifiable information to appear in YouTube content, which the platform said was occurring in videos on the channel that included people holding up ID cards to prove they were related to the missing. The channel appealed YouTube's removal of at least 12 videos, but was only successful in getting some reinstated for the public to see. As a result the channel has begun moving its massive library of nearly 11,000 videos to a new video-sharing platform called Odysee, according to Reclaim The Net.
