He said his daughter was at YouTube on Tuesday but said he did not know how she was involved in the incident.<\/p>\n<p>Nasim, who also used the name Nasime Sabz (Green Breeze) on her Facebook, Instagram and personal website, had many followers and earned a living by posting videos on her YouTube channel. However, she appeared to bear a grudge against YouTube claiming she was not receiving money owed for her video hits.<\/p>\n<p>Last February she posted a picture which appeared to show Aghdam holding a home-made protest sign which read: \u201cYouTube dictatorship. Hidden policy: promote stupidity, discrimination, suppression of truth\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>CBSNews said Aghdam\u2019s father Ismail told them his daughter had been missing for several days and he\u2019d told police she was \u201cangry\u201d at YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>Police said early investigations indicated the shooting was of a domestic nature and not terrorism-related.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2599\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2599\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/madaresharghi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/3298617_630x354-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"YouTub  madaresharghi\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/madaresharghi.ir\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/3298617_630x354-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/madaresharghi.ir\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/3298617_630x354.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2599\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Iranian<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Iranian-American woman named Nasim Aghdam, a vegan and animal rights activist with lots of followers on Instagram, has been identified as the person who opened fire on the YouTube headquarters in California, perhaps in protest at being censored by the video-sharing company.
