YouTube Demonetizes Taibbi Video Showing Democrats Claiming Prior Elections Were Stolen JONATHAN TURLEY

Demonetizing a video of what Democrats have previously declared is reminiscent of Twitter blocking of the site LiberalsofTicTok to stop the site from replaying the postings of liberals.

YouTube and other companies are now openly advancing a political agenda in blocking or demonetizing such postings. This is only likely to get worse as we approach the midterm and 2024 elections. The effort is to actively block resources or access to conservative, libertarian, or contrarians viewpoints.

The company is owned by Google, which has also faced such criticism of political bias. These are publicly traded companies like Twitter that have written off many potential users to advance a political agenda of company staff.  They are selling a censored product to consumers who want free speech forums. While these companies continue to dominate the market, they are fueling calls for Substack and other alternative sites committed to free speech.  Taibbi writes on Substack.

YouTube also routinely demonetizes China Uncensored for the crime of criticizing the Chinese Communist Party. (A topic I should add I know a bit about.) As far as I can tell, it does this just because the CCP really doesn’t like the channel. YouTube was a busy CCP supporting bee long before the Covid outbreak (or perhaps I should say break out). So anything supporting freedom in Hong Kong, say, zap, demonetized.

And of course, anything Covid-approved-narrative critical gets demonetized or blocked outright by YouTube. It’s doing its best to groom us intellectually and it’s sinister as hell.

Twitter is just as bad. TicTok I’m less sure of, but then they’re basically owned by the CCP and they’re busy hoovering up our personal data.

Of course, if we don’t like it, we can just start our own social media site. Just like the guys at Parler.
