No time right now?
Youtube has finally blocked the “KenFM” channel of the conspiracy storyteller Ken Jebsen. Jebsen had previously violated the terms of use several times.
“Videos on the KenFM channel have violated our Covid-19 guidelines,” said a spokesman for the Google video service on Friday. For the third time, community guidelines were disregarded. According to the rules of Youtube, a channel is permanently deleted if these guidelines are violated three times within 90 days. The service had already ensured in May 2020 that Jebsen could not earn any money via YouTube through advertisements. Access to Jebsen’s videos had already been temporarily blocked in November.
The journalist Jebsen, who was dismissed from the RBB in 2011, is a prominent figure in the new-right scene. In his videos, he claims, among other things, that Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is thinking about sterilizing people in a targeted manner as part of vaccinations. Fact checkers have already completely or partially refuted many of the statements in Jebsen’s articles.

Jebsen also spread 9/11 conspiracies
Jebsen also spread a conspiracy theory on the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States. In his former RBB show “KenFM” he claimed that the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 were staged by the Americans themselves.
Youtube had already blocked several right-wing extremist channels last year, including three channels of the Identitarian Movement (IB). The channel of the Austrian activist Martin Sellner was also blocked. dpa
