YouTube announced Thursday that it will begin “managing harmful conspiracy theories” on the platform by “removing more conspiracy theory content used to justify real-world violence.” The policy change will specifically target QAnon content and conspiracy theories that “targets an individual or group.”

The move comes just weeks before the election, and well after the QAnon conspiracy theory has become mainstreamed in large part due to videos discussing QAnon on YouTube garnering millions of views. Facebook recently also banned QAnon and Holocaust denial content. Though YouTube was not specific beyond mentioning both QAnon and PizzaGate, presumably this ban will apply to conspiracy theories that target people like Bill Gates and George Soros, which have spread rampantly on the site.
