Google's Head of Communication and Public Affairs for Africa Dorothy Ooko provides an explanation regarding the termination of Kenyan content creator Andrew Kibe's YouTube channel.
In light of the matter, Dorothy Ooko took to her X account to officially confirm that Andrew Kibe had indeed breached YouTube's terms of service, resulting in the termination of his channel.
She clarified that the creator had initially been restricted from uploading videos but retained access to his channel.
“Kibe violated YouTube's Terms of Service. While he was restricted from using YouTube features, including uploading videos on his channel, he used another channel to get around these restrictions aka circumvention, resulting in termination of all his channels,” Dorothy Ooko explained.
However, Kibe appeared to be dissatisfied with her explanation and raised concerns that he had not received formal communication regarding the termination of his channels or the specific terms he had violated.
“Sounds so pedestrian. Can you show me the emails of the violations? That is the procedure, right?”
"I mean there is no way YouTube permanently blocks any channel that has over 3,000 videos with no paper trail. Be serious with your job,” he added.
This comes after a section of Kenyans who are believed to be fans of the content creator, took to social media and demanded an explanation as to why Kibe’s YouTube channel was terminated.
