(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - "On August 20, YouTube's parent company Google deactivated Press TV's new account weeks after disabling the channel's official page," said Press TV Newsroom Director Hamid Reza Emadi.
"YouTube broadcasts a variety of obscene images and provides a platform for terrorists to propagate their dangerous ideologies, but it cannot tolerate the broadcast of an alternative media channel from Iran," he said, adding that YouTube is doing what the ADL is ordering it to do.
"ADL has contacted YouTube regarding concerns about Press TV," reads an article on ADL's official website, further noting that the station's "broadcast on Youtube comes at the a time when the United States, the European Union and others in the international community are seeking to isolate Iran."
Since January 2012, Press TV has come under mounting pressure from European governments and satellite companies, which have taken the alternative channel off the air across the European Union.
In a statement published on the official website of the American Jewish Committee (AJC), the pro-Israeli lobby has lauded Spain's efforts to ban Press TV, saying Madrid has pulled the plug on the Iranian channel following months of negotiations with the AJC.
Meanwhile, Press TV has created a third YouTube page.
"Viewers can now watch our videos at www.youtube.com/Presstvonair," he added, stressing that the channel will create more and more pages to counter the YouTube censorship.
