    An old video with Vitalik Buterin banned by YouTube
    
    A crypto blogger on YouTube Christian Peel has taken to Twitter to share that one of the crypto-related videos banned on his channel was about Ethereum. In it, the co-founder Vitalik Buterin does a Q&amp;A session at Coinbase in 2016 and speaks about the Ethereum roadmap.
    
    The screenshot of the YouTube notification states that this video contains ‘harmful and dangerous content’.

As the crypto purge on the biggest video content platform YouTube continues, a crypto YouTuber shares a screenshot from a YouTube notification message. It says that a video in which Vitalik Buterin does a Q&A session regarding the 2016 roadmap at Coinbase contains harmful and dangerous content.

Vitalik Buterin responds that it is weird to censor a Q&A video that is three years old and states the crypto world does need alternatives to YouTube.

An old video with Vitalik Buterin banned by YouTube

A crypto blogger on YouTube Christian Peel has taken to Twitter to share that one of the crypto-related videos banned on his channel was about Ethereum. In it, the co-founder Vitalik Buterin does a Q&A session at Coinbase in 2016 and speaks about the Ethereum roadmap.

The screenshot of the YouTube notification states that this video contains ‘harmful and dangerous content’.

Bewildered, Vitalik Buterin responds to that, saying that it is weird to ban an Ethereum 2016 roadmap video.
