YouTube removes Tenet Media channel over alleged ties to Russian disinformation effort

The DOJ indicted individuals linked to an alleged Russian disinformation campaign that funneled at least $10 million through Tennessee-based Tenet Media to pay U.S. influencers (including Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, and Dave Rubin) to publish pro-Kremlin content; Google/YouTube removed multiple channels and seized websites as part of the disruption, and the indictment alleges use of fake personas and covert coordination by RT employees to direct and conceal funding ahead of the U.S. election.
