ABS-CBN News channels on YouTube are currently inaccessible. The media giant is now investigating the problem.
As of November 3, 2020, ABS-CBN News channels on YouTube are not available. Viewers who try to access videos will see a notification from YouTube saying that the “account has been terminated for a violation of YouTube’s Terms of Service.” Visiting the account URL, on the other hand, will show an error 404 or that the “page isn’t available.”
ABS-CBN has already released a statement saying that they are aware of the problem and currently investigating and working closely with YouTube to resolve the problem.
Other ABS-CBN YouTube channels like ABS-CBN Entertainment and ABS-CBN Sports are still operational.
ABS-CBN recommends watching their livestreams and news reports on the TeleRadyo Channel in the meantime.
What? Content creators have their own ads in videos so what makes ABS-CBN different?
Well, I know why. They embedded their own ads in the video they are playing as if you’re watching a regular tv show. I saw that when I was watching their news. Youtube doesn’t want that of course.
