The Right Side Broadcasting Network, which prides itself on its live-streaming of Donald Trump’s rallies, once gave its guests free rein to talk about politics. Now, due to YouTube’s recent crackdown on misinformation, the channel increasingly cuts them off.
“We do have to be super careful,” RSBN’s Liz Willis recently told Mike Lindell, the Trump-supporting MyPillow CEO, just as he was getting ready to talk about coronavirus vaccines. “I hate to do it, you know I love you, but due to YouTube’s guidelines, we will get our whole platform shut down if you talk about vaccines.”
It seems that even RSNB tried to cave into YouTube rules because they had another awkward moment last week as reporter Mike Nificent was interviewing attendees at the Conservative Political Action Conference when one woman asked him a question.
“You know how they said they changed the votes using a satellite?” she asked, apparently alluding to a delusional theory about the 2020 election.
“We can’t go there,” Nificent told her. “We’ll lose our entire platform. We have to play by the rules.”
It seems that YouTube decide to remove them from their platform anyway.
RSBN has been suspended from YouTube for two weeks because of the Trump CPAC speech. Earlier, YouTube punished other media outlets like RT, Sputnik for streaming the speech, but not others from the mainstream media like “The Independent”
A search of YouTube suggests that other live streams of Trump’s speech were also taken down.
About a week ago, YouTube also removed a Newsmax video that included an interview with Trump, and around the same time, removed a video of an attorney testifying to the Ohio legislature, claiming it included COVID-19 misinformation.
The move against Right Side Broadcasting Network—which broadcast most of Trump’s rallies during his 2016 campaign and while he was president—is certain to trigger even more criticism against Big Tech’s censorship of dissenting viewpoints.
Trump himself offered a warning about the potentially unchecked power of Google, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, and others in his speech, saying they should face punishment if they silence conservative voices.
“All of the election integrity measures in the world will mean nothing if we don’t have free speech,” Trump said. “If Republicans can be censored for speaking the truth and calling out corruption, we will not have democracy and we will only have left-wing tyranny.”
Trump needs to buy a platform. Some exist but he needs something to put his name on so it gets huge hits.
These communists that control Twitter, Youtube, etc., are ridiculous.
“Getting used to people disappearing from social media leads to getting used to people disappearing from this world.”
Cancel Culture is a Dress Rehearsal for Mass Murder.

“control the media...”
But if you say who controls the media you get banned, even here.
Youtube staff have names and addresses. These need to be made known.
“Youtube” does nothing. People enforcing these evil policies are the perps, not a faceless corporation. No one is forced to commit these political atrocities. They are done willingly by evil men and women.
They’re a bit late, 50 freaking million people watched it live.
Time for a utube replacement for RSBN
time to put on your big person pants RSBN. supported you since the first week you were on, but you’ve got to move off of youtube/google now. get on rumble, gab, etc.
I’m glad we are not in some South American country. Can you imagine what would have happened to the people and buildings of a Columbian YouTube in the late 80s Escobar days? Or what happens today in Mexico or the Middle East to companies that take sides so blatantly?
I sure am glad American companies abusing the freedoms of all Americans can do so in complete safety. We are a lucky people!
All of social media and the MSM know that the election was stolen. They know Biden is not the legitimate President but they are trying to force this illegitimate presidency on a public that by and large does not want it. All this does is enrage people even more than they already were.
Rumble is trying to get to the point where they can reliably live stream. As soon as they get there anyone it’s brains will make the jump.
RSBN and the rest need to get the H off of YouTube and get on Rumble or some other venue. It is crazy to continue to use the Censor King You Tube
Ignoring the enormous initial capital outlay for such a purchase, in this political climate, the revenue model doesn’t exist for a ‘conservative’ platform.
Creators need compensation. From what revenue stream will those creators be paid considering the lack of appetite from businesses to advertise on such a platform? There’s a reason Fox News is dominated by gold, reverse-mortgage and pillow advertisements whereas CNN enjoys all the blue-chip companies from IBM to Ford and Mercedes and everything in between. That reason is organizations like Media Matters have successfully blackballed companies like Fox. FNC would have gone out of business years ago if it were not for the cable retransmission fees it collects. It’s that revenue stream that pays the bills, not the ads.
Without competent creators creating engaging and entertaining content, a streaming platform isn’t even a going concern much less a profitable business. Keep in mind, YouTube was losing hundreds of millions a year when Google bought it and hundreds of millions more before it became the cash-cow it is today. That takes hugely deep pockets.
Tsunami level leftist fear achieved.
As I predicted to those who complained about their handling of Lindell. YouTube did it anyway.
It is inarguable that many liberal Jews heavily influence or control dinosaur media, but of the Zuckerberg, Dorsey, Pichai, Cook, Bezos axis (ie, the people who wield the real power nowadays), they're barely represented.
Time to cancel YouTube.
Absolutely true. This is just the beginning.
The deep state is much Bigger than LIBERAL JEWS....but like you, most have great imaginations while still being absolutely clueless.
