In the second quarter of 2025, YouTube deleted almost 11,000 channels and accounts related to state propaganda campaigns from China, Russia, and other countries. This was reported by Google, which is actively fighting global misinformation operations through its Threat Analysis Group unit, CNBC writes.

More than 7,700 channels were connected to China. They published content in Chinese and English, supported the Chinese government, glorified President Xi Jinping, and spoke about US foreign policy. More than 2000 channels were Russian. Their content supported the Russian Federation and at the same time criticized Ukraine, NATO and Western countries.

In May, Google also eliminated the network related to the Russian State Media RT. It was about 20 YouTube channels, 4 advertising accounts and Blogger platform. RT funded content creation through Tennes Tent Media, and conservative bloggers who supported Donald Trump were known among the authors.

By the way, in March 2022, YouTube began to block RT after a full -scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine.

In addition to China and Russia, in the second quarter of 2025, Google found campaigns of influence from Azerbaijan, Iran, Turkey, Israel, Romania and Ghana. Some of them concerned the conflict between Israel and Palestine.

More than 23,000 accounts were deleted in the first quarter. Meanwhile, META reported to remove 10 million fake profiles that have issued themselves for known content makers.
