Youtube terminates several North Korea-linked propaganda accounts

Removal reportedly a result of "legal complaint"

Video-sharing platform Youtube on Wednesday appeared to have shut down several accounts carrying North Korean propaganda and media.

In a move caused by a reported “legal complaint” against the accounts, channels linked to the DPRK state-run DPRK Today and Uriminzokkiri outlets were listed as terminated as of Wednesday evening Seoul time.

Another account, known as Inminchoson (People’s Korea) was also shut down, as were several channels called “Red Star” — previously known for their live streaming of the DPRK’s Korean Central Television (KCTV) broadcasts.

No further explanation for the channels’ closure has been given, with requests for comment
