YouTube wipes out thousands of propaganda channels linked to China, Russia, others
Google announced Monday the removal of nearly 11,000 YouTube channels and other accounts tied to state-linked propaganda campaigns from China, Russia and more in the second quarter. The takedown included more than 7,700 YouTube channels linked to China. These campaigns primarily shared content in Chinese and English that promoted the People's Republic of China, supported President Xi Jinping and commented on U.S. foreign affairs. Over 2,000 removed channels were linked to Russia. The content was in multiple languages that supported Russia and criticized Ukraine, NATO and the West. Google, in May, removed 20 YouTube channels, 4 Ads accounts, and 1 Blogger blog linked to RT, the Russian state-controlled media outlet accused of paying prominent conservative influencers for social media content ahead of the 2024 election. Tim Pool, Dave Rubin and Benny Johnson — all staunch supporters of President Donald Trump — made content for Tenent Media, the Tennessee company described in the indictment, according to NBC News. YouTube began blocking RT channels in March 2022, shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine. The active removal of accounts is part of the Google Threat Analysis Group's work to counter global disinformation campaigns and "coordinated influence" operations. Google's second quarter report also outlined the removal of influence campaigns linked to Azerbaijan, Iran, Turkey, Israel, Romania and Ghana that were found to be targeting political rivals. Some campaigns centered on growing geopolitical conflicts, including narratives on both sides of the Israel-Palestine War. CNBC has reached out to YouTube for further comment or information on the report. Google took down more than 23,000 accounts in the first quarter. Meta announced last week it removed about 10 million profiles for impersonating large content producers through the first half of 2025 as part of an effort by the company to combat "spammy content."

Man Last Seen Leaving Turks & Caicos Hotel at 3:30AM Now Confirmed Dead
Brian Tarrence was on vacation with his wife when he left their hotel in the early morning hours of June 25 and vanished ... now, three weeks later, authorities give a grim update. Brian Tarrence, an American man disappeared from his Turks & Caicos hotel in the middle of the night, has been confirmed dead. The update came from the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force on Thursday morning. Tarrence, 52, had been on vacation with his wife Maria in the area when he vanished back on June 25. "The Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force (RT&CIPF) confirms that the body discovered on Saturday, July 5th, 2025, in the Grace Bay area has been positively identified as that of Brian Patrick Tarrence," began the police statement. While a body was later discovered on July 5, it was described as being in a "state of decomposition" and not confirmed to be Tarrence until now. The identification came via forensic dental analysis, while an autopsy "revealed no signs of trauma" and "no suspicion of foul play." Final autopsy and toxicology reports are pending, per authorities. "Mr. Tarrence was vacationing with his wife on Providenciales when he left their accommodations in the early hours of the morning," read another statement from Minister of Tourism, Hon Zhavargo Jolly, after Tarrence was last seen leaving Paradise Inn in Grace Bay around 3:30 in the morning. The body was reportedly located about a 20-minute walk from the inn. "Extensive efforts were made to locate him, including ground searches, drone surveillance, CCTV analysis, and the involvement of local residents, volunteers, and tourism stakeholders," Jolly's statement added. "The body was found following a coordinated search operation led by the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force." Per authorities, there is no "evidence of suspicious circumstances" surrounding either Tarrence's disappearance or death, as the investigation continues. "We extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Mr. Tarrence," added Jolly. "We are grateful to the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force and to every individual, volunteer, and organisation who took part in the search. The entire Turks and Caicos community mourns this loss alongside the Tarrence family." Solve the daily Crossword
