YouTube removes PewDiePie Cocomelon diss track over child safety concerns YouTube: PewDiePieYouTube have removed Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg\u2019s diss track on the Cocomelon channel for violating platform guidelines around cyberbullying and child safety. In his decade on YouTube, PewDiePie has gotten into some interesting beefs with other channels, with the outcome usually being him settling the drama with a pretty funny joke, a video, or more recently, a diss track. PewDiePie viewers ate up his lyrics on \u2018B**ch Lasagna\u2019 when he was embroiled in a battle with T-Series to be the most subscribed channel, and on February 14, the YouTuber dropped another diss track. This time though, it was aimed at children\u2019s channel Cocomelon \u2013 though he did call out rapper 6ix9ine in there too. However, if fans want to listen to it now, it\u2019s been taken down by YouTube. In the early hours of February 19, fans of the Swede noted that the song had disappeared from his channel and quizzed YouTube\u2019s support on why this was the case. The reason they gave on Twitter was that it violated two policies, child safety, and harassment. \u201cThis video violated two policies: 1) Child safety: by looking like it was made for kids but containing inappropriate content. 2) Harassment: by inciting harassment @ other creators\u2013 we allow criticism but this crossed the line,\u201d TeamYouTube tweeted, highlighting the policies in question. \u201cAny reuploads of the original, including full length or partial reuploads, clips, etc will be removed too. Still images are ok.\u201d (2\/2) Any reuploads of the original, including full length or partial reuploads, clips, etc will be removed too. Still images are ok.

Though, they do explain that saying \u201cI was joking\u201d after harassing someone through a diss track isn\u2019t a get out of jail free card. What about the exceptions that specifically mention Diss Tracks? pic.twitter.com\/Bm9ICMJP6n \u2014 Connor Dale (@CDProd95) February 19, 2021 As of writing, PewDiePie hasn\u2019t responded to his song being taken down but he likely will do at some point, seeing as he hasn\u2019t been shy when it comes to criticizing YouTube.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
