A report by Dismisslab reveals that YouTube is profiting from misinformation videos in Bangladesh. The study found 700 unique videos containing false information, mostly about politics, religion, and sports. These videos, some from verified channels, average over 200,000 views and often display ads from local and international brands. Despite reporting, YouTube removed only 25 of these videos. The platform’s policy on misinformation remains vague, and experts call for more accountability and better monitoring, especially in non-English languages like Bangla. Reuters
