What the Evidence Shows
Multiple credible sources from mid-2023 report that CNN Philippines' official YouTube channel was taken down or temporarily disabled by YouTube because of alleged copyright issues. The termination or disabling was reportedly triggered by multiple third-party copyright infringement claims against the content posted on the channel. CNN Philippines acknowledged the situation and stated they were working to resolve the issue.
However, none of the available sources explicitly confirm that the takedown was due to a "possible issuance of false copyright takedown request." The reports focus on legitimate copyright claims from third parties rather than false or malicious takedown requests. Discussions on social media and forums speculate about copyright trolls or misuse of copyright claims, but these remain unverified.
Therefore, while it is true that CNN Philippines' YouTube channel was terminated or disabled due to copyright claims, the specific claim that it was due to a "possible issuance of false copyright takedown request" is not fully substantiated by the evidence available in public sources.
