Zeeshan-ul-Hassan Usmani, a prominent Pakistani data scientist, writer, entrepreneur, and scholar in computer science, has faced a setback as YouTube permanently deleted his channel. With over 3 million subscribers and 1,300+ videos, Usmani’s channel focused on personal and spiritual development alongside emerging technologies.

The abrupt deletion of Usmani’s channel came with YouTube citing the content as “harmful and dangerous.” However, the specific reasons for this action remain unclear. Usmani suspects that his latest video, which discussed Anant Ambani’s pre-wedding, might have been perceived as offensive by YouTube.

The deletion of Usmani’s channel raises concerns about content moderation on platforms like YouTube, especially regarding the interpretation of what constitutes harmful or offensive content. Many of Usmani’s followers and supporters have expressed disappointment and confusion over the sudden removal of his channel.

It remains to be seen whether Usmani will be able to appeal the decision or if he plans to pursue other avenues to continue sharing his content with his audience.
