NGO wants SMNI axed from 'all digital TV boxes, socmed platforms'
By Nidz Godino
CONTROVERTIAL "SON OF god" APOLLO QUIBOLOY
"Lason ang content nila…kung di mo suportado ang lahat ng ginagawa ng gobyerno, terorista ka na…nakabobobo naman to... sana ay tanggalin na rin sila sa mga digital TV boxes,"Kabataan party-list has welcomed YouTube's move to terminate Sonshine Media Network International News's online channel, urging all digital TV services and social media platforms to follow suit amid sex trafficking charges being faced by SMNI's honorary chairman Apollo Quiboloy.
Google video sharing platform's parent company confirmed with media it terminated YouTube channels of SMNI News, KOJC and "Laban Kasama ang Bayan" in compliance with appplicable US sanctions and laws under its terms of service.
"Hopefully, brainwashing fake news outlet is removed from all social media platforms," said Kabataan party-list Executive Vice President Renee Louise Co in statement.
Kingdom of Jesus Christ founder Quiboloy is currently wanted by US Federal Bureau of Investigation along with two others for labor trafficking scheme, ultimately led to sanctions over "serious human rights abuse" in connection with allegations raped and abused members of his religious group.
Hosts from SMNI News have been called out on social media for red-tagging legal activists, journalists from many media outlets and for prolifirating disinformation.
Civil society groups have earlier called on Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas to investigate nework for allegedly violating Broadcast Code of the Philippines through personal attacks and red-tagging of groups and individuals.
"Only truth that matters is that Quiboloy is sex offender and Badoy, Celiz and other redtaggers are employed to defend him and incumbent administration from any accountability…these mercenary liars should all be deplatformed and prosecuted for any potential crimes," ended Co.
In attempt to seemingly bypass sanctions, SMNI News has created new YouTube channel last July 6, now under name "SMNI News Official."
"Subscribe to our New SMNI News Youtube Channel," they said on Facebook.
"Truth that Matters!"
Quiboloy's personal YouTube and TikTok accounts have earlier been terminated after netizens prompted them about his wanted status in United States.
The religious leader, known to be former President Rodrigo Duterte's spiritual adviser, is controversial for his claims that he's the "Appointed Son of God."
YouTube's parent company Google on July 7 confirmed other channels affiliated with religious leader Apollo Quiboloy have been terminated.
Aside from Quiboloy's YouTube channel, which was removed last month, also taken down were channels of Sonshine Media Network International (SMNI), Laban Kasama ang Bayan program and Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) church.
"Google is committed to compliance with applicable US sanctions laws and enforces related policies under its Terms of Service…after review and consistent with these policies, we terminated Laban Kasama ang Bayan, KOJC & SMNI YouTube channels," YouTube spokesman said in statement sent to media.
Quiboloy is on most wanted list of US Federal Bureau of Investigation over numerous charges related to sex and labor trafficking.
Last year, US Treasury imposed sanctions on him under its Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act.
Sanction blocked all his properties and interests in property in US or in possession or control of individuals in US.
It also prohibited US persons from "making any contribution or provision of funds, goods or services by, to or for benefit of any designated person, or receipt of any contribution or provision of funds, goods or services from any such person."
Google is multinational technology company based in US.
Quiboloy, who has denied allegations against him, regularly appeared on videos uploaded by SMNI and KOJC before channels were taken down. He was also regular guest at Laban Kasama ang Bayan, co-hosted by former anti-insurgency task force member Lorraine Badoy.
He earlier shrugged off removal of his YouTube channel claiming he is "bulletproof."
SMNI has yet to issue statement on removal of its YouTube channel. Aside from Facebook, its videos are now uploaded at online video platform Rumble.
Earlier this week, TikTok also removed Quiboloy's page in accordance with its community guidelines. SMNI's page was still on short video platform as of yesterday afternoon.
YouTube banned channels tied to controversial religious leader Quiboloy due to violations of video-sharing website's terms of service.
Reddit users noticed change on Friday, July 7.
Reddit users noticed YouTube channel of SMNI News, owned by controversial preacher Quiboloy, has been terminated for allegedly violating video-sharing platform's terms of service.
SMNI runs show red-tagging against government critics is done and has partnership agreement with Philippine Army.
