A new YouTube account of Lange Frans was deleted after one day. That let the rapper and podcast maker know via Instagram. His previous channel was removed for violating the rules of the video platform.
“Stopped for about 30 hours”, Lange Frans writes about his new account. Google, the parent company of YouTube, says in a response to the NOS that it “cannot respond to individual cases and channels”. The company refers to their guidelines, which state, among other things, that someone whose channel has been terminated “may not be able to use, own or create other YouTube channels or accounts.”
In October, the rapper’s previous channel was removed. He is alleged to have repeatedly violated YouTube’s guidelines. His channel featured music videos, as well as conversations with people saying that “the elite” and political leaders are members of a pedophile network and abuse children. Frans himself called the removal of censorship.
Criticism of corona policy
His rap texts previously showed Frans’ interest in conspiracy theories. Last year he started a podcast in which he lets various dissenters have their say. This includes a lot of criticism of the government’s corona policy.
In August commotion arose because in an episode Frans fantasizes about an attack on Prime Minister Rutte together with conspiracy thinker Janet Ossebaard. Two months later, his channel was removed from YouTube for multiple violations of the guidelines on hate, intimidation and (medical) misinformation.
