Suspend and Demonetize YouTube channel Nemagia for promoting hate speech and bullying

The Issue

Mikhail Pecherski (Михаил Печерский) a part of the Popular Russian YouTube Channel Nemagia and his wife Yekaterina Pecherskaya (Екатерина Печерская) posted a family picture on Instagram where Mikhail had a black face painted on, their son was making Asian eyes and Yekaterina was holding a sign that read “ALL LIVES MATTER”. Mikhail himself posted a picture of him leaning on a car with the blackface still painted on under #blacklivesmatter. It took combined 75+k people to complain and report the pictures for Instagram to remove them. Originally Instagram’s response was “this content doesn’t violate our community guidelines”. Racists shouldn’t have a massive online platform that they earn money from, therefore I call to demonetize and suspend Nemagia YouTube Channel as a consequence to the actions of creators involved. 

UPDATE: 

Mikhail’s account was suspended my Instagram, Instagram page of their YouTube channel was suspended too because they kept re-posting this image all the time. Now Mikhail created a new Instagram page and it only features one image - the image on this petition. These are clearly racists who want to prove a point. They shouldn’t have any platforms.  All of the comments from their supporters feature curse words and racial slurs!
