YouTube has deleted the channel of Tenet Media, a right-wing media outlet. This action follows a Department of Justice (DOJ) indictment that connected Tenet to Russian funding. The indictment suggested that Russia financed Tenet's operations and influenced it to hire well-known right-wing online commentators. Prior to its removal, Tenet's YouTube channel had approximately 316,000 subscribers and featured content from right-wing pundits including Tim Pool and Benny Johnson. Users clicking the channel's link now see message about removal for guideline violations.
