“YouTube has strict policies prohibiting graphic violence and violent extremism,” YouTube told CNN Wednesday. “The video was removed for violating our graphic violence policy and Justin Mohn’s channel was terminated in line with our violent extremism policies. Our teams are closely tracking to remove any re-uploads of the video.”
