Michigan Republican gubernatorial hopeful Garrett Soldano says he's been permanently banned from YouTube, a social media platform he's used to build a following by questioning the state's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

YouTube said in an email to Soldano early Monday that his channel included "severe or repeated violations" of the company's community guidelines.

YouTube didn't identify which specific policies the Mattawan chiropractor and anti-lockdown activist had broken, but the guidelines prohibit content "that contradicts local health authorities' or the World Health Organization’s medical information about COVID-19."
