UPDATE 1-AT&T pulls ads from YouTube over videos exploiting children
The move comes just one month after the U.S. wireless carrier announced it would resume buying advertising on YouTube, after a nearly two-year boycott of the platform. The previous boycott was also due to concerns that its ads could run on videos featuring hate speech or other disturbing material. The report by Wired magazine that commercials had run alongside offensive videos and comments also prompted food and beverage maker Nestle SA to pause advertising on YouTube earlier this week.
YouTube said it had removed some of the content, which violated its policies against child endangerment, nudity and other behavior it considers inappropriate. A YouTube spokesman did not immediately respond to requests for further comment.
