Conservative radio host and personality Dan Bongino has been kicked off YouTube for good.
“We terminated Dan Bongino’s channels for circumventing our Terms of Service by posting a video while there was an active strike and suspension associated with the account,” said a YouTube spokesperson in a statement provided to Mashable. “When a channel receives a strike, it is against our Terms of Service to post content or use another channel to circumvent the suspension. If a channel is terminated, the uploader is unable to use, own or create any other YouTube channels.”
Basically, Bongino tried to evade a temporary suspension by posting content when he was prohibited from doing so, resulting in a permanent ban.
As of Wednesday, both of Dan Bongino’s YouTube channels had been permanently deleted, one of which has almost 900,000 subscribers.
Earlier this month, Bongino violated the video platform’s COVID-19 misinformation policies when he posted a video claiming “masks were useless,” according to YouTube. The violation resulted in a strike for Bongino’s channel. Upon receiving one strike, YouTube suspends the user from posting on the platform for one week.

When a user accumulates two strikes, they receive a two-week suspension. If three strikes are accumulated, YouTube permanently terminates the channel. However, strikes expire after a 90-day period, allowing for some leeway for repeat offenders.
If Bongino just waited out the week suspension for his first strike, he would have been able to post content on YouTube unabated once again.
But, during the week he was suspended, on Jan. 20, Bongino uploaded content to a secondary channel he ran, Dan Bongino Show Clips. YouTube explicitly prohibits “ban evasion” in its terms of service.
“If your channel has been restricted due to a strike, you must not use another channel to circumvent these restrictions,” reads YouTube’s terms. “Violation of this prohibition is a material breach of this Agreement and Google reserves the right to terminate your Google account or your access to all or part of the Service.”
However, at the time, YouTube simply hit Bongino’s secondary channel with its own strike for the ban evasion and for also violating its COVID-19 misinformation policies, too.
Again, instead of waiting out the week-long suspension, this time due to a violation on his secondary channel, Bongino went back to his main channel and uploaded content.
These repeated violations resulted in the permanent ban from YouTube.
Bongino is a powerhouse in the online conservative media-sphere, so he has other platforms where he can go. His Facebook page is often among the top-performing on the social network each day.
However, Bongino’s most likely YouTube replacement will be Rumble, a video platform that became extremely popular among conservatives over the last year. Bongino boasts over 2 million subscribers on Rumble for his daily program, The Dan Bongino Show.
Bongino’s ban from YouTube will likely create a firestorm amongst his conservative audience, who have been searching for alternative platforms since Donald Trump was banned from Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube last year after the events of Jan. 6. This will drive an even bigger audience to Bongino’s Rumble channel.
And, driving his audience to Rumble won’t only help pump Bongino’s subscriber numbers. Bongino is an investor in Rumble too.
保守派电台主持人、名人丹·邦吉诺(Dan Bongino)已被YouTube永久开除。
YouTube的一名发言人在向Mashable提供的一份声明中说:“我们终止了Dan Bongino规避我们服务条款的频道,因为该账号遭到了积极的罢工和暂停,我们发布了一段视频。”。“当一个频道遭到罢工时,发布内容或使用另一个频道规避暂停是违反我们的服务条款的。如果一个频道被终止,上传者将无法使用、拥有或创建任何其他YouTube频道。”
基本上,邦吉诺试图通过在被禁止发布内容的情况下发布内容来逃避临时停职,从而导致永久性禁令。
截至周三,丹·邦吉诺(Dan Bongino)的两个YouTube频道都被永久删除,其中一个拥有近90万用户。
本月早些时候,Bongino在YouTube上发布了一个视频,声称“口罩是无用的”,这违反了视频平台的CVID-19错误信息政策。这一违规行为导致了邦吉诺频道的罢工。一旦遭到攻击,YouTube将暂停该用户在平台上发布一周。

当用户累积两次罢工时,他们将被暂停两周。如果累计三次攻击,YouTube将永久终止该频道。然而,罢工将在90天后结束,为屡犯者留出一定的余地。
如果邦吉诺在停赛一周后等待他的第一次进球,他将能够再次在YouTube上发布内容。
但是,在他被停职的那一周,1月20日,邦吉诺将内容上传到他运营的第二频道丹·邦吉诺秀剪辑。YouTube在其服务条款中明确禁止“禁止规避”。
YouTube的条款写道:“如果你的频道因罢工而受到限制,你不得使用其他频道来规避这些限制。”。“违反本禁令即严重违反本协议,谷歌保留终止您的谷歌账户或您访问全部或部分服务的权利。”
然而,在那时,YouTube仅仅击中了Bongino的第二渠道,对自己的禁令进行了打击,同时也违反了其CVID-19错误信息政策。
再一次,邦吉诺没有等待长达一周的停播,这次是因为他的第二频道违规,而是回到主频道上传内容。
这些反复的违规行为导致YouTube被永久禁止。
邦吉诺是在线保守媒体领域的一个强者,所以他有其他平台可以使用。他的Facebook页面经常是社交网络上每天表现最好的页面之一。
