Big Tech's Latest Purge: Targeting Conservatives to Protect "Democracy"

Looks like YouTube is doing its best to play political hall monitor, pulling down five right-wing channels just in time for election season—how convenient.

"Trust us," said the DOJ as they silenced dissent

The Department of Justice claims it's just stopping some sneaky Russian propaganda, but pulling the plug on YouTube channels with millions of views right before an election smells more like censorship than protection. Sure, they found some shady Russian money trails, but who’s buying that these crackdowns are purely about “foreign interference”? Big Tech and the DOJ seem more focused on quashing alternative narratives—especially if those narratives don’t fit the official Washington-approved Ukraine story. The timing is pretty perfect too, right? They want you to believe they’re just cleaning up the internet, but let’s face it, silencing voices under the guise of fighting misinformation always seems to hit conservatives the hardest. The bottom line? If you’re a content creator with views outside the mainstream narrative, you're probably on a list.

YouTube's Censorship in Defense of Democracy

The DOJ's crackdown on Russian influence operations is a triumph for global justice and progressive media! By exposing far-right influencers like Tim Pool and Benny Johnson, connected to Russia’s $10 million propaganda campaign, YouTube ensures public discourse stays free from harmful disinformation. This is essential to protect marginalized voices and maintain societal cohesion in the face of divisive narratives. Far-right actors have no place on platforms that seek to elevate truth, equity, and inclusion. Bravo YouTube, keep silencing the haters!
