YouTube flags Oliver Stone's Ukraine documentary
It was revealed Wednesday that YouTube had placed a warning on the 2016 documentary Ukraine on Fire by executive producer Oliver Stone. Video streaming platform Rumble then announced that the producers had uploaded the film to its site.
"BREAKING NEWS: YouTube removed @TheOliverStone's documentary, 'Ukraine on Fire.' We believe the public should decide what it sees, not Google execs. We're proud to announce the producers uploaded the film to Rumble, enabling anyone who wishes to view it," Rumble tweeted.
On YouTube, when a user clicks on the film via the production company Global Tree Pictures's channel, the screen goes black and displays an inappropriate content warning. Viewers can still watch it, however, by clicking that they wish to proceed.
