YouTube Shuts Down Channels Hosting Fake Trailers

YouTube has shut down two major channels hosting AI-generated film and television trailers, removing Screen Culture and KH Studio which together had more than two million subscribers. The move follows Disney's recent cease-and-desist to Google and Google's removal of dozens of videos featuring Disney-owned characters. YouTube cited repeated violations of spam and misleading metadata policies in enforcing removals.
