Democracies are what make America great! It’s all about the freedom to vote and choose our leaders. But something fishy is going on with YouTube. They keep taking down videos of Robert Francis Kennedy Jr., Biden’s main Democratic opponent. What’s up with that?

At least two videos of RFK Jr. have been censored by YouTube, and maybe even a third one. One of them was an interview with the famous psychologist Jordan Peterson. YouTube said it was because of “general vaccine misinformation.” But they didn’t even say what part of the video they thought was wrong. They just pointed to some vague policy about vaccines causing autism, cancer, or infertility. Like, come on YouTube, give us some specifics!
Now @YouTube has taken upon itself to actively interfere with a presidential election campaign @RobertKennedyJr https://t.co/XmgOYTl3NN

.@YouTube just pulled another of my videos, with former NY Post political reporter @al_guart. People made a big deal about Russia supposedly manipulating internet information to influence a Presidential election. Shouldn’t we be worried when giant tech corporations do the same?

The Kennedy campaign is not happy about this censorship. They said that while vaccines aren’t their main focus, they’re willing to debate the issue with anyone. They think the attacks on them are just people sharing their beliefs, but they also think there are some serious problems with vaccine safety. They’re all about transparency and unbiased testing.
Even Jordan Peterson is speaking out against this censorship. He said YouTube is interfering with a presidential campaign. And Kennedy himself questioned whether social media platforms should be censoring presidential candidates. He even shared the interview on Twitter, thanking Elon Musk for providing an alternative platform.
But here’s the kicker, folks. Some other Democrats are actually complaining that YouTube isn’t doing enough to combat (cue dramatic music) misinformation! They wrote a letter expressing their disappointment that YouTube would stop censoring people who believe the election was stolen! Can you believe it? They want to limit free speech!
And YouTube hasn’t stopped taking down Kennedy videos without giving any clear reasons. Kennedy just called out another incident two days ago. It’s like they’re on a mission to silence him. But conservatives won’t be silenced! We believe in free speech and the right to question the status quo. YouTube may be trying to play kingmaker, but the American people will have the final say. Stay tuned, folks, this censorship battle is far from over!
