YouTube has banned all conspiracy theory videos falsely connecting coronavirus symptoms to 5G networks.
The Google-owned service will now take down videos breaching the policy. It had previously limited itself to reducing the frequency it recommended them in its Up Next section.
This change follows a live-streamed interview with conspiracy theorist David Icke on Monday, in which he had linked 5G to COVID-19.
YouTube said the video would be wiped.
During the interview, Mr Icke falsely claimed there "is a link between 5G and this health crisis".
And when asked for his reaction to reports of 5G masts being set on fire in England and Northern Ireland, he responded: "If 5G continues and reaches where they want to take it, human life as we know it is over... so people have to make a decision."
Several users subsequently called for further attacks on 5G towers in the comments that appeared alongside the feed.
Mr Icke also claimed that a coronavirus vaccine, when one is developed, would include "nanotechnology microchips" that would allow humans to be controlled. He added that Bill Gates - who is helping fund Covid-19 vaccine research - should be jailed. His views went unchallenged for much of the two-and-a-half-hour show.
