YouTube to remove vaccine misinformation videos
The policy includes the termination of accounts of anti-vaccine influencers
YouTube has said it will remove content that spreads misinformation about all approved vaccines, expanding a ban on false claims about Covid-19 jabs. Some people are looking for legal exemption from the vaccine, on religious grounds, for example, as we hear from Professor Dorit Reiss at Hastings College of Law, University of California. Also in the programme, US banking giant Citigroup is in court in New York to argue for the return of more than half a billion dollars accidentally transferred to the beauty firm Revlon's lenders. Bloomberg's Katherine Doherty explains the background. A court in Los Angeles has suspended Britney Spears' father as her 'conservator' - the controller of the American pop star's business affairs. We get the latest from Variety's Elizabeth Wagmeister. Plus, the 成人快手's Elizabeth Hotson reports on the growing trend of influencer-based marketing, by spending time in an influencer house, where social media personalities are temporarily living together to create content on behalf of a plant-based food brand.
All this and more discussed with our two guests throughout the show: David Kuo of The Smart Investor, in Singapore and Kimberly Adams of Marketplace, in Washington DC.
