MADRID — A Spanish court has banned a YouTuber from using the video sharing platform for the next five years after he played a prank by feeding toothpaste-laced cookies to a homeless person. In the video, Ren then addresses the audience saying that his prank would help the victim keep cleaner teeth. A provincial court sentenced Ren last week to pay his victim 20,000 euros ($22,500) and to a 15-month prison sentence that he won’t serve unless he breaks the law again. The video caused a stir and widespread condemnation in Spain. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.
