YouTube temporarily suspended the One America News Network for posting a video that promoted a fake cure for COVID-19, according to a report Tuesday.

The move also prevents OANN from profiting off its other videos on the site, Axios said.

YouTube — which removed the video at issue — reportedly acted because OANN violated a misinformation policy that prohibits users from posting videos that claim the coronavirus can be cured.

OANN was previously warned about violating the policy, Axios said.

OANN’s one-week suspension reportedly marked Google-owned YouTube’s first “strike” against the cable TV network.

Two more would lead to its account being terminated, Axios said.

In addition, OANN will have to reapply to the YouTube Partner Program in order to resume making money off its videos, Axios said.

OANN didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
