Democracies are quintessentially defined as adhering to voter sovereignty. That the voter gets to determine the leadership of the country through free and fair elections is the core of democratic legitimacy. Censorship campaigns for candidates seeking political office like those that occurred in the 2020 election, erode such legitimacy. These curation operations should be condemned no matter which candidate from any party is affected. There appears to be one such censorship campaign against Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. as YouTube has repeatedly taken down videos featuring Biden’s main Democratic opponent.
YouTube has censored at least two videos of RFK Jr and may have censored a third video. For instance, YouTube took down an interview between the renowned psychologist Jordan Peterson and RFK Jr. on June 18th for “general vaccine misinformation.” A spokesperson for the company did not specify what in the video they found to be misinformation but merely provided a specific section of its the company’s general policy toward vaccine information. This policy stated that “content that falsely says that approved vaccines cause autism, cancer or infertility, or that substances in vaccines can track those who receive them” would be removed.

I hate Yoo Toob.

That thought crossed my mind as well.

I’m hoping (and praying!) that RFK serves as a debilitating but not fatal poison to the Biden 2024 machine.
In other words, Biden goes into the general election as the weakened “last rat standing”, thoroughly battered and discredited, and facing a third-party challenge from RFK or someone else.
Then President Trump waltzes in and cleans the ‘Rat’s electoral clock similar to Reagan 1984.

We will all be at Twitter soon. Shunned by every social media outlet out there.
He has to be taught there is no leeway given on the Dem Plantation. You must be in lockstep in ALL policies and statements at all times.

And so do Americans as it’s all connected and includes the vax.
That was supposed to go on the thread “78% of Ukrainians have relatives who died or were wounded in the war,” but for some reason, this one came up. Still all connected.
Two points here....YouTube is controlling content, therefore they are not protected as a forum and are a defacto publisher.
Second....where the hell is the FEC? This is very clearly an in-kind campaign contribution to the incumbent. They should not be allowed to censor and filter the speech of a declared presidential candidate (or anyone else for that matter).
