US EditionYouTube Boots 2 Channels for Posting Fake AI Film Trailers
YouTube removed two channels with 2 million subscribers and over 1 billion views for violating spam and misleading metadata policies by posting AI-generated fake trailers.
- On Thursday, YouTube confirmed it terminated Screen Culture and KH Studio after repeated policy violations involving AI-generated movie trailers.
- Earlier this year, YouTube suspended ads on Screen Culture and KH Studio after a Deadline investigation, and YouTube says the creators repeatedly violated spam and misleading-metadata policies.
- The channels, based in India and Georgia, had two million subscribers and over a billion views collectively, while Screen Culture produced 23 AI trailers for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, some outranking official trailers.
- That legal warning prompted Google to remove dozens of AI-generated videos last week after Disney sent a cease-and-desist letter claiming copyright infringement.
- Creators exploited the algorithm with a team of a dozen editors by releasing early fake trailers and relabeling videos as `fan`, `parody`, and `concept trailer`; Screen Culture Plus remains up with over 28,000 subscribers.
