Corporate Australia’s YouTube brand safety blockade continues but the government makes exceptions for Border Protection campaigns

The corporate boycott of YouTube continues in Australia as major advertisers maintain their refusal to advertise on the platform in the face of brand safety fears, while in the US and UK the service is reportedly offering tiny refunds to customers.

In Australia it’s not clear if YouTube is offering rebates, although Telstra, the NBN Co and the federal government – with one notable exception – told Mumbrella they are all continuing to keep their money off the service.
