Oh, tomorrow will be interesting.

YouTube removes CPAC content for violating 'election integrity policy'
YouTube removed some video content posted on the account of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) from its platform because it was in violation of its "election integrity policy," a spokesperson told The Washington Examiner on Thursday.

“We removed content from the CPAC channel for violating our election integrity policy,” YouTube Policy Communications Manager Ivy Choi told the Examiner.

She continued: “Our policies apply to everyone, regardless of the uploader’s political views, and while we do allow content that provides additional context such as countervailing views, the content we removed from this channel was footage that did not provide sufficient context.”

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) said in a Twitter post on Thursday that YouTube had removed all the video footage from two days of the four-day conference, which occurred from Feb. 24-27. He said that the removed content included speeches made by former President Donald Trump and multiple GOP senators and House members, among others.

"The only notice we got from YouTube was that our videos were 'flagged' for 'misinformation,'" Biggs added in another post. "No additional details were provided. We appealed and recently learned that all of our appeals have been 'rejected.'"

American Conservative Union Chairman Matt Schlapp told the Examiner that the organization noticed that the content had been taken down a few days earlier. After opposing the removal of Trump's speech, "it was over the course of days that we realized so much more of the content had been taken down,” he said.

"The policies that would be most destructive of their companies — I think we’re for those,” Schlapp added.

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) tweeted that her speech at the event was among the content that YouTube removed.

"Youtube's censorship has become COMPLETELY out of hand," she said. "Two entire days of CPAC were just ripped off the website - including my speech."

youtube is a private company, which sets it's own rules and standards...trump literally breathes disinformation, and cannot shut the fuck up about the election he lost...talking about the "big steal" is a big nono....simple as that

Everybody is entitled to acquire a soap box, head to a public square or park and rant away. You can even do it on RIU and they won't drag you away as mad nearly as quickly, though like in public you will get ignored. :lol:

But when they get power again they will be coming after Youtube.
it's a private company...the republicans went on and on about how businesses are allowed to make their own rules during the pandemic.
and with any luck, we're seeing the beginning of the end for the republican party. their voter base shrinks every year, and their representatives get fucking stupider and crazier every year...i'm not looking for them to do well in the coming years it takes for the elephant to finally die. they may not even pull of the votes they need to regain a majority in the house OR the senate this year...that would just tickle me fucking mauve...which is way beyond pink...
and google can afford to fight them in the courts for decades, till they're back out of power.
then there is the huge potential audience from youtube, the republicans may talk a lot of shit, but they don't want to lose that potential audience
