The official line is that it's to do with hate speech, and not fake news. I don't watch his shit in detail, so I don't know how much hate speech he does. The complaints people have seem to do with the lack of transparency and examples given, although I would guess there's more going on behind the scenes that they don't want to publically air.

If he's inciting hatred and/or violence, then I fully support pulling his channels just based on that.
Feel free to send me a private message.
