YouTube bans viral pro-Iran AI-generated LEGO videos trolling Trump

As the ‘meme war’ between the US and Iran continues via AI ‘slopaganda,’ an Iran-linked group named Explosive Media has been pumping out viral LEGO-style videos ridiculing the US war effort in Iran, and trolling President Donald Trump. Many of these videos depict Trump as childish and fickle, accuse him of having started the war to distract from his ties to Jeff Epstein, and have gained an audience of hundreds of millions online.
