YouTube is restoring Anthony Pomplian’s “malicious and dangerous” crypto channel

Anthony Pompliano had temporarily deleted his cryptocurrency YouTube channel after the platform called it “harmful and dangerous.” Although later restored, the crypto-community has already launched a burst of criticism for censorship.

Morgan Creek co-founder and partner Anthony Pompliano has temporarily deleted his YouTube channel, according to a Twitter post released on October 11th. ‘Pomp’, as it is often called, said it had received an e-mail stating that the content it was posting was “harmful and dangerous” and that the platform referred to an interview with a PlanB market analyst.

YouTube later reinstated his channel, but first informed Pompliano that he had been placed on strike, and then another email that the channel would be deleted. At the same time, he recorded a podcast version of the interview so that others could find out if the content was really dangerous.
