Social media has erupted with pleas from users asking YouTube India to restore the account of Mohammad Irfan, a resident of a Delhi slum, whose channel gained a substantial following overnight before being taken down by the video-hosting platform.
While YouTube has not yet issued any official clarification, attempts to access Mr. Irfan’s page, Main Irfan, display a message stating that “this account has been terminated for violating Google’s Terms of Service”.
Mr. Irfan went viral for reciting the Preamble to the Constitution during the recent Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest at Jantar Mantar.
