Spanish YouTuber banned for feeding toothpaste-laced cookies to homeless man

A Spanish YouTuber was banned from using the video sharing platform for five years after a video showed him playing a prank by feeding toothpaste-laced cookies to a homeless person. The video caused a stir and widespread condemnation in Spain.

A 2017 online video showed Khangua Ren, who goes by the nickname ReSet on social media, replacing the cream in between chocolate cookies with toothpaste and giving them to a homeless person in Barcelona.

In the video, Ren then addresses the audience saying that his prank would help the victim keep cleaner teeth. A provincial court sentenced Ren last week to pay his victim 20,000 euros (USD22,500) and to a 15-month prison sentence that he won't serve unless he breaks the law again. The verdict can be appealed.
