YouTube removes channel that shared content about Bitcoin

A popular video platform recently removed a channel dedicated to sharing educational content about Bitcoin. The channel, which had over 30 thousand followers, was taken down last Sunday, resulting in the deletion of all its videos.

The channel manager expressed his frustration with the situation, claiming that the platform's moderation acted unfairly. The social media company, in turn, maintains its policy of not publicly commenting on removed channels.

Impact on the Bitcoin enthusiast community

The channel in question was known for sharing clips from a recognized educator and Bitcoin enthusiast in Brazil. This educator, along with a co-author, is responsible for a literary work of great relevance in the criptomoedas.

The book, which explores the fundamentals of Bitcoin, is available for free on the internet, including PDF versions shared by the authors themselves. Despite this, it remains one of the best-selling titles on the subject in the country.

Educational content and popularity

The content produced by the educator is considered one of the richest in terms of education about Bitcoin in Brazil, attracting a significant fan base. Although the removed channel was not owned by the educator, he was dedicated to publishing his lectures and teachings.

Allegations and possibility of appeal

After the removal of the channel, its manager published a statement on a social network, expressing his dissatisfaction. He shared an image of an email received from the video platform, which briefly mentioned the reasons for the exclusion.

According to the statement, the platform claimed that the channel was publishing content classified as “hate speech,” an accusation that the channel owner vehemently denies. The platform suggests that, in the case of an erroneous removal, the channel owner may appeal the decision.

Debate on freedom of expression

The channel owner argued that the removal represents a violation of freedom of expression, depriving over 30 thousand people of access to content that he considers aligned with good customs and ethical and moral values.

This incident raises important questions about the balance between content moderation and freedom of expression on digital platforms, especially when it comes to issues related to cryptocurrencies and emerging financial technologies.
