Google’s YouTube Meddles In French Election, Slaps Age Restriction On Presidential Candidate Zemmour’s Campaign Video
The Federalist ^ | 12/02/2021 | Jordan Boyd

“You must now present your identity papers to have the right to watch the video of my declaration of candidacy. The thought police are no longer even hiding: they are showing off their tyrannical nature. The real fight begins,” a Google translation of Zemmour’s tweet in reaction to the censorship reads.

The video, which was posted on Tuesday and has accumulated more than 2.5 million views, features the French journalist explaining why he chose to run for president overlayed with clips from the news and clips showing the European country.

“For decades, the left and the right have led us to this deadly path of decline and decadence,” a translation of Zemmour’s speech in French reads.

According to YouTube’s policy, age restriction occurs when the Google-owned platform determines that content contains “Child safety” concerns, “Harmful or dangerous activities, including regulated substances and drugs,” “Nudity and sexually suggestive content,” “Violent or graphic content,” and/or “Vulgar language.”

Zemmour’s announcement does not appear to explicitly violate any of these themes. YouTube, however, did not immediately respond to the Federalist’s questions about what specifically in the video reportedly violated the community guidelines.

Searches of Zemmour’s video were also reportedly subdued on YouTube.

Google global market share: 92.47%

Google received federal money early on (in their infancy) because the NSA saw their potential and they were chosen as the winner. That is what gave them early on some of the money to help pull away form their competition. They were able to pay for massive hardware expansion which Altavista and others simply could not do. Free market, right? hahaha

Google is a monopoly, but because they are tied into the governments Intel Community, used in US government psyop campaigns, and give graciously back to the right politicians, don’t expect any real action to break them up.

It has already been proven that Google is directed by the Government
in their anti-free speech efforts.

In this case, the only question is Which Government?

This restriction is all the more interesting in light of an article by Rachel Marsden on Townhall yesterday describing M. Zemmour’s considerable appeal to French youth.
