You might have seen the incredible speech by the new PM of Italy. It got a lot of attention and praise by conservatives in the west.

However as Legal Insurrection notes, Youtube apparently didn’t like it:

I was unwhelmed with shock at this move by Youtube which is consistent with their actions to others.

Yesterday afternoon I was watching the Mel Brooks special on HBO plus with DaWife who is home sick. Brooks mentioned this Oscar speech for winning best original screenplay for the Producers and having never seen the speech I went to Youtube and saw this:

Nothing says “Election 2020 is the most honest election there has ever been” then to ban videos and commentaries that question it.

This is a rather old video but I’ve noted that I’m closing in on 1000 subscribers which means that I can monetize videos there so I suspect the time has come to preemptively start the process to ban me.

Well I’m not taking down anything, not anything that they’ve flagged, not anything that they may flag nor anything else, but alas for Youtube that video is already up on Rumble

for those of you interested in what's been banned at @youtube here is the livestream which fortunately had been already migrated to @rumblevideo that the leftists at youtube are afraid of you seeinghttps://t.co/p1S94d70EC@wjjhoge

The day will come when the truth about election 2022 comes out just like the truth about COVID has and when that day comes perhaps I’ll sue Youtube but for now I’ll settle for moving my stuff to Rumble and waiting for them to ban me as they continue to go though my old videos.

Or perhaps I’ll ask the PM of Italy to speak for me because as I was writing this post I saw this update at Legal Insurrection:

After Reason asked YouTube to explain why it took down the video, the social media site reversed course and restored it.

“Upon careful review, we determined this video is not violative of our Community Guidelines and have reinstated it,” says Ivy Choi, a spokesperson for YouTube. “We enforce our policies regardless of the speaker’s political views and when it’s brought to our attention that a video has been mistakenly removed, we review the content and take appropriate action, including restoring the relevant videos or channels—as we have done with this video.”

Funny how all those mistakes come in one direction isn’t it?
