Social media giant YouTube has pulled the shutters on a far right Polish channel that regularly posted content attacking Jews, Ukrainian refugees and the LGBTQ+ community.
The “Media Narodowe” (“National Media”) channel was pulled following the publication of a report on its activities by the Never Again Association, a leading Polish anti-racist NGO.
In a statement shared with The Algemeiner, the Association confirmed that the channel had been removed from the YouTube platform.
The “National Media” channel is run by Robert Bakiewicz, a far-right activist who organizes the annual ultranationalist “Independence March” through Warsaw on Nov. 11.
According to the Never Again Association, Bakiewicz’s various organizations, including National Media, have received almost $1 million from public funds distributed by the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.
“Many minorities are regularly attacked on the National Media channel, including Jews, Muslims, refugees from Ukraine, and LGBT people,” Anna Tatar of the Never Again Association said in a statement accompanying the original report.
