Overview

• YouTube temporarily removed DAH’s “ICH WEISS WAS ICH TU” campaign channel during Pride Month and restored it following the organization’s public protest.
• The platform applied an age restriction to one video deemed potentially inappropriate for younger viewers.
• DAH condemned the action as censorship and part of a broader sexual-hostile policy by US social media companies.
• The group warned that such moderation practices hamper HIV and STI education for gay men and other queer individuals.
• DAH said it must continue relying on US-controlled platforms to reach its target audience despite these constraints.
