The famous French humorist Dieudonné Ambala Ambala denounced YouTube for closing its page, in which more than 400,000 people subscribe, stressing that the platform complied with this under Israeli pressure.
Dieudonné, who was often accused of anti-Semitism, described what happened as "the darkest burning hour in history."
According to the Numerama news site, the audiences of the Dieudonné channel have increased dramatically in recent months, from 2.5 million cumulative views to 7.5 million in May.
In a commentary on the news of the disappearance of Dieudonné's channel, Friedrich Potter, the ministerial delegate for the French government in charge of combating racism, anti-Semitism and homosexuality, expressed his happiness, saying that this is "good news".
The Union of Jewish Students in France also welcomed the move, noting that it had informed YouTube in recent months of "dozens of videos" that Dieudoni had published that were controversial.
The president of the aforementioned federation Noemi Madar said that this decision leaves hundreds of thousands of subscribers to Dieudoni Orphans channel, as they are no longer able to follow his videos, "This is a good thing, and it represents a major step in the fight against hatred on the Internet."
Maddar demanded that Twitter, which has 150,000 followers, and Facebook, which has a million and 200,000 followers, follow the example of YouTube and ban Dieudoni accounts on their platforms.
Dieudonné has been summoned several times by the judicial system for making hate statements, and the last time he was convicted last November was when he was fined 9,000 euros for anti-Semitism after he published a video and song called "My Holocaust".
