    Earlier this month, YouTube announced that it would remove “content alleging widespread fraud or errors changed the outcome of a historical U.S. presidential election.”

    It took down a video of a Trump lawyer testifying to the Senate committee on homeland security as part of its policy to not post anything challenging the election. YouTube is hiding behind the safe harbor date to falsely rationalize their position. A media outfit cannot be more blatantly partizan, prejudicial and biased than this while attempting to shout their independence. They have declared themselves above the Senate, the courts, the law, and the Constitution. Such a large head containing such a tiny and blind brain.

    He presented evidence under sworn oath to the US Senate. By taking it down, the video will go viral.

    The sheep might start questioning Biden's legitimacy if they were to become educated about election fraud, and leftwingers can't risk that!

    Come on sheep, repeat after me, BiiiiDennnn..... Good sheep! Good job! Come back in four years!

    Youtube isn't the media and they've never pretended to be impartial.

    They completely belong to the leftist culture and will do anything to keep their masters in power.

    If you made a thread that was blatantly violating the rules of the platform, then wouldn't you expect your thread to be taken down?

    YouTube is simply exercising the freedom granted by the constitution. The state can’t force it to aire misinformation.

    The Press has fallen down fulfilling it’s duty for decades with it’s “he said, she said” passivity and that in turn emboldened those that spread misinformation. It’s call is to inform the public.

    Personally I’d prefer they aire the clip, note the misinformation, and have some technological fun with it. Essentially working from the notion if you want to act like a clown in public we’ve got the technology to fulfill your wish.

    Yes.

    That happened a couple of days ago.

    YouTube DOESN'T give a Platform to Tinfoil Hat BS.

    I am sure that anybody who wants to hear that "witness" relate his fantasies, will be able to find his fantasies on other outlets.

    This is the reason we must support Alternative Media like Bitchute more then ever.

    If Enemies of Freedom succeed in taking Alternative Media offline, then Dissidents will have nowhere to express their views.

    Hopefully they will be sued for any libel/slander they host, but only time will tell. For now the main issue for Freedom of Speech is keeping and building Alternative Media.

    In other words, what is safe to be seen and heard by the Senators, can be dangerous to the rank and file Democrats!

    I agree :roflol:

    I think it's sad that Social Media has to do things like these. And they tried all alternatives. But found none to help this country recover from the post-truth era that that same Social Media helped Trump and his followers create?

    Why?

    B/c the Senate "Hearing" was called by Ron Johnson (a conspiratorial whackjob).

    Congress should pass a law that it is illegal for any person or any company to publish anything in anyway unless the net worth of the person or company is at least 10 billion dollars of the statement or publication - or allowed by the mega billion dollar company or person, don't you think?

    What this means is what I've always known. The plutocrats totally control and own all televisions, all newspapers and the social media. Nothing you read is anything but propaganda for their profit and power. Believe nothing as they are corporate fascists propagandists and book burners. It is all just corporate-fascist propaganda.

    No he didn't. He presented no evidence at all and just repeated theories that were rejected by several courts. If asked I could swear that I heard that the pee pee tapes actually are of two 13 year old boys with hard ons peeing on a blond prostitute. I'd not be lying but nor would I be providing evidence either.

    They've transitioned from being a platform to a publisher.

    So, instead of publically humiliating this "whackjob" to the enjoyment of rank and file Democrats, YouTube has hidden this Senate hearing, least rank and file Democrats may instill some of "conspiratorial B/S" and be damaged by it.

    Makes sense.

    Is this why each and every Liberal MSM platform hid each and all news of Hunter Biden, his poppa and his uncle, before election?

    And if yes, why are they freely talk about them now? I can answer that. can you? :confusion:

    Americans don't spread GRU disinformation. That's why.

    And why are Liberal MSM freely talk about Hunter and his poppa now but not before election?

    You’ve been on PF long enough, you know the answer, right?

    I have no clue what you're talking about Dutch. GRU...disinformation. That's what I'm talking about. What is your point?

    What will the media and Democrats do when they find out Hunter and Joe are guilty criminals?

    Maybe they will realize Trump was right and they were wrong to impeach him.
