YouTube removed several livestream channels set up to capitalize on voter anxiety.
Some channels were falsely claiming to have accurate election results, says Gizmodo.
The bogus election results were broadcast to millions of viewers.
This runs afoul of the platform’s community guidelines.
Many of the channels popped up before any state’s polls had even closed in Tuesday’s general election.
Titles like “LIVE 2020 Presidential Election Results” and “Election results 2020” left viewers confused.
