The woman who police say went on a shooting rampage at YouTube headquarters on April 3 was a video creator who criticised the company for policies she claimed limited her audience, according to media reports. Police in San Bruno, California, identified the suspect as Nasim Aghdam, according to news organisations including The Los Angeles Times, which cited an unidentified law enforcement source. The local NBC news affiliate linked her to a website and YouTube channels that criticised the Google video unit. As of Tuesday evening, the YouTube channels were terminated for violating policies against spam, deceptive practices, and misleading content or other Terms of Service violations, according to YouTube. YouTube’s moves were criticised by some video creators who relied on the site for ad revenue.
