YouTube deletes small channel's copy of Bryson Gray "Let's Go Brandon" music video, suspends channel for a week: A small YouTube channel called "Don't Tread on Me" posted a copy of the Bryson Gray, Tyson James, Chandler Crump music video called "Let's Go Brandon." The video had been removed from all three rap artists' channels, and was also removed from this channel, as well as other channels that posted it. While it can be confirmed that the video was removed from the Don't Tread on Me channel, the channel posted a new banner that explained it had been suspended for one week, which is in line with YouTube's standard penalty for a second offense and first strike. No screenshot confirming this has been produced. The artists who created the video have produced screenshots confirming that YouTube's reason for removing it was "medical misinformation," though it is not clear which part of the video that YouTube has a problem with. The beginning does quote a widely discredited statement from President Joe Biden, stating that if you get vaccinated, you will not get sick from COVID-19. However, the song lyrics later state that this was a lie. There are some other lyrics in the song that YouTube may have objected to, but it has not specified which part of the song is at issue.
