YouTube, the video-sharing platform owned by Google, has sparked controversy by removing content related to the movie “Sound of Freedom” for allegedly violating their community guidelines. Screenshots shared by former Navy SEAL and CIA contractor Shawn Ryan showed that a preview video of an upcoming interview with the movie’s star, Jim Caviezel, was taken down. Furthermore, YouTube claimed that a video titled “Actor Jim Caviezel Unveils Dark Truths Behind the Trafficking of Children” was not eligible for monetization.
This blatant censorship of content concerning an anti-child trafficking film has come under scrutiny. Luke Rudkowski, a commentator, also received a strike for posting a film review and is currently blocked from uploading any more content. It seems that YouTube is cracking down on the discussion surrounding this important issue, which begs the question: what are they trying to hide?
YouTube pulled my preview of Jim Caviezel’s episode for “violating community guidelines”.

Tim Ballard, the real-life former government agent who inspired the film, has accused the media of protecting pedophiles and human traffickers. These actions by YouTube and their media allies are deeply troubling, as they seem determined to silence any discussion about child sex trafficking. It’s disturbing to see them attack a film based on a true story while defending movies like “Cuties,” which sexualize children.
The leftist media, including outlets like CNN, The Guardian, and Rolling Stone, are quick to dismiss “Sound of Freedom” as a “far-right” conspiracy film. They even go as far as linking it to the QAnon conspiracy theory. It’s clear that these outlets have their own agenda and will stop at nothing to smear anyone who challenges their narrative.
The censorship of “Sound of Freedom” on YouTube is just another example of the tech giants’ bias and suppression of conservative voices. It’s time for people to wake up and realize that these platforms are not interested in promoting free speech or protecting children. They are only concerned with pushing their own agenda, even if it means silencing those who are fighting against child sex trafficking.
