New in PJ Media:
Leftists know what’s best for you. They know that better than you know it yourself. That’s why they have graciously and selflessly taken it upon themselves to decide what we may and may not see, hear, and read. If we were left to ourselves, we might make bad, self-destructive choices, as we did in 2016, when we elected Donald Trump president of the United States. Now the social media giants want very much for you to dislike Democrat presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and so YouTube has just taken down an interview he did with Jordan Peterson. If you saw what he actually said, you might end up voting for him instead of for Old Joe Biden, and that would never do.
Peterson posted video of the interview on Twitter, where it is still available, on June 5. It went up on YouTube as well. On Sunday, however, Kennedy tweeted: “What do you think … Should social media platforms censor presidential candidates? My conversation with @JordanBPeterson was deleted by @YouTube. Luckily you can watch it here on @Twitter (thank you @elonmusk). #Kennedy24.”
Getting right to the heart of the matter, Kennedy added: “Maybe you can help me figure out what ‘misinformation’ was in this interview. #letRFKspeak. Do you really need Big Tech censors to decide what you should hear? Or would you prefer to be treated as a competent adult who can listen to various viewpoints and come to his or her own conclusions? #letRFKspeak. It may be that @YouTube has broken no laws in this blatant interference in the electoral process. In that case, change will come only through public pressure. That’s democracy in action!”
He even issued a call to action: “If you want Youtube to be a modern-day public square rather than a propaganda outlet, then make a video and post it to @YouTube telling them what you think. #letRFKspeak.”
Peterson agreed with RFK Jr. that YouTube was blatantly doing its part to ensure that Old Joe’s path to renomination and four more years as Figurehead-In-Chief was as smooth as possible: “Now @YouTube has taken upon itself to actively interfere with a presidential election campaign @RobertKennedyJr.”
YouTube remained regally silent amid all this, only bothering to issue a bland, pro-forma statement on Monday: “We removed a video from the Jordan Peterson channel for violating YouTube’s general vaccine misinformation policy, which prohibits content that alleges that vaccines cause chronic side effects, outside of rare side effects that are recognized by health authorities.” This statement was Leftist elitism at its finest, for what is precisely at issue regarding RFK Jr.’s is whether or not they constitute “misinformation” at all.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Conservative YouTubers should leave the platform en masse & move to Rumble. Just deprive the Alphabet Company of the power to deplatform you

Take away the power over you, and they have to change or sink. Without it, they are nothing.
