    Well I’m sure Google will be donating the money to sexual assault non profits rather than pocketing the profits right?

    Right?

        Most corporations would suspend his account completely for damage control.

        They’re suspending his income. That’s theft.

        I made a joke comment, well since they’re taking his money, I’m sure it’s going to victims. Right?

        And you come along and point out that, in your belief, all corporations steal revenue from their content providers when they get accused of a crime. Show me one other platform that’s done this. Suspended revenue (i.e. stealing revenue) prior to conviction rather than canceling content.

        Note the BBC cancelled him. Google is still making money off an accused rapist. In fact, more. Because said rapist isn’t getting a cut.

          No, they aren’t. His videos aren’t being promoted or monotonized. Search and find some. Since they will not be getting promoted to you. You will see no advertisements directly before or during. Because they aren’t.
