Well, that's new.
I reported a YouTube video on December 27th—one of those AI-generated videos pretending to be a celebrity (in this case, Jimmy Kimmel) talking about current affairs—for impersonation, and Google just let me know they have pulled it.
Sounds like Google are actually starting to listen when people mention that celebrities don't like having their likeness used without their permission.
It would be better if they understood that viewers don't like being fed crap, but here we are.

MAGA’s Little Helpers: Sinclair, Nexstar and the Consolidation of Broadcast TV
PETE TUCKER
“That’s because the local ABC station in the DC area, WJLA, is owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Network. And the right-wing network refused to air the Jimmy Kimmel Show! on any of its 38 ABC affiliates.”

"Trump’s attempt to silence Jimmy Kimmel only ensured that more Americans heard the jokes, more people saw through his insecurities, and more recognized that the emperor has no clothes. Kimmel’s Tuesday night viewership exceeded six milion, around three times what he received before this fiasco."

#Disney said in a statement Monday that “#JimmyKimmel Live!” will return to its #ABC broadcast on Tuesday.
The decision came nearly a week after ABC said it was suspending the late night show indefinitely, shortly after the host made comments linking the alleged killer of conservative activist #CharlieKirk to #Trump’s #MAGA movement.
