On Tuesday April 26th I received an email from YouTube that one of my episodes with Heritage Foundation expert Hans von Spakovsky was being removed for “misinformation”. They stated that they “think” that my conversation with Hans on election integrity “violates our misinformation policy” So just how did my content violate their misinformation policy? YouTube explains:
How your content violated the policy
Content that advances false claims that widespread fraud, errors, or glitches changed the outcome of the U.S. 2020 presidential election is not allowed on YouTube.
I want to note that our discussion did not include who we think won or didn’t win the 2020 election. Rather, we stated that there are legitimate concerns of voter fraud in the nation, and that they happen on the federal, state, and local levels. Now YouTube went on to said and I quote “Because it’s the first time, this is just a warning. If it happens again, your channel will get a strike and you won’t be able to do things like upload, post, or live stream for 1 week.”
YouTube wants to silence any discussion about voter fraud. And apparently they consider themselves to be the authority on this issue. However, YouTube is not the great arbiter of truth and should refrain from acting as if it is.
YouTube reversed their decision AFTER a Daily Signal Exposé by journalist Douglas Blair was published.
