At least four large YouTube channels devoted to firearms have announced they’re quitting the platform and moving to rival services with looser rules.
YouTube, which is owned by Google, has for years imposed rules on gun videos.
YouTube says gun videos are only one part of its enormous app.
Responsible firearms content is just one part of this vibrant mix of communities,” the company said in a statement.
A successful YouTube gun channel can make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in ad revenue and sponsorships, Bloomberg News reported this year.
