New Delhi: All the content on the YouTube channel of Mojo Story was deleted, allegedly by "hackers". As per journalist Barkha Dutt, the channel was hacked, and its content was wiped off.
In her tweet on Monday, Dutt alleged that YouTube failed to act in a timely manner despite requests.
"This could have been stopped… now, it's gone," Dutt said.
Mojo Story is a digital-run organisation run by Dutt, who is the founder-editor.
She mentioned that they requested YouTube repeatedly since Sunday to "freeze the platform so that the hackers could not alter it."
The officials at YouTube replied that the "process of the investigation has to be followed."
