Google-Owned YouTube Censors Jordan Peterson, Candace Owens, Michael Knowles Over Pro-Biology Stance
YouTube has declared war on anyone who dares to push back against the left’s radicalized gender ideology on its platform.
The Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing slammed YouTube’s assault against his news network’s popular lineup of podcast hosts in a fired-up Twitter thread on Sunday. Boreing accused YouTube of censorship over the allegation that his outfit’s content, spanning through the accounts of Hosts Candance Owens, Michael Knowles and Jordan B. Peterson, violated the anti-free speech platform’s “Hateful and Derogatory” content policies over their content related to “transgender” . Boreing wrote that “@realDailyWire has received ~200 violations from @YouTube,” resulting in “limited monetization” and full-blown censorship of the network’s popular hosts.
YouTube’s censorship campaign against The Daily Wire hosts came after it first demonetized the account of What is a Woman? Director Matt Walsh, who also hosts The Daily Wire’s The Matt Walsh Show. Boreing declared that the anti-free speech assault came as a consequence of his outlet’s coverage of the left’s “transgender” agenda. YouTube then sentenced the channels of Owens and Knowles — both of whom host popular shows for The Daily Wire — to a seven ban for not following suit to the leftist ideology.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has acknowledged that Facebook’s “fact-checkers” have censored information that was actually true, leading to a loss of trust.
During an interview on the “Lex Fridman Podcast,” Zuckerberg disclosed that Facebook and Instagram had censored skeptics of the Covid pandemic without substantial evidence to prove the claims false. However, subsequent developments have shown that much of the so-called “misinformation” was either true or subject to debate.
Zuckerberg acknowledged the challenges of identifying misinformation on social media and conceded that the corporate media and Big Tech were mistaken in censoring skeptical viewpoints.
Mark Zuckerberg says it was challenging to censor COVID misinformation because the scientific establishment was frequently wrong, which ultimately undermined public trust:
