YouTube suspends US blogger Logan Paul over Japan suicide video
Paul posted a 15-minute video from Japan’s Aokigahara forest, where he came across the body of a young man who appeared to have hanged himself from a tree
YouTube has suspended a star who posted video images of what appeared to be a suicide victim but said that doesn’t mean it won’t work with him in the future.
The video service announced last week that it had pulled Logan Paul’s channel from its ad-supported Google Preferred platform and put two other projects on hold.
YouTube chief business officer Robert Kyncl said Saturday there’s no timetable for when Paul’s future will be addressed again.
Kyncl didn’t shut YouTube’s door on Paul.
“Everything is evolving so fast,” Kyncl said.
“The best thing we can do is put all projects on hold indefinitely, and there’s no date or plan for him in the future.”
