YouTube deletes conspiracy theorist David Icke's account over COVID-19 claims

Google-owned YouTube has deleted 68-year-old former footballer and English conspiracy theorist David Icke's account over unproven coronavirus-related claims after repeatedly warning him he violated YouTube's policies. He made several claims about the virus, including one that it is linked to the 5G mobile network. The ban follows a similar move by Facebook, which removed Icke's page on Friday.
