YouTube cuts ties with Logan over Japan suicide video
New York, Jan 11 : YouTube has cut business ties with Logan Paul, the hugely popular vlogger who posted a video showing the body of an apparent suicide victim in Japan, the BBC News reported on Thursday.
Paul’s channels were removed from YouTube’s Google Preferred programme, where brands sell ads on the top 5 per cent of the platform’s content creators.
YouTube also said it had put on hold original projects with the US vlogger.
Paul posted the video with a man’s body on 31 December, triggering widespread criticism.
The video showed him and his friends at the Aokigahara forest at the base of Mount Fuji, known to be a frequent site of suicides.
