Let the tyranny and censorship hit the floor America, but tech strikes again!
YouTube has suspended ‘One America News Network’ from its platform following a letter from Democrat Senators calling upon the video hosting platform to ban channels spreading election misinformation.
In Tuesday just like in a communist state ran country four Democrat Senators sent a letter to Youtube asking them to censor an my content they felt was disinformation towards the 2020 election results.
YouTube claims that OANN violated their policy on COVID-19 misinformation. In a statement to Axios, YouTube said that it does not consider OANN to be an authoritative news source.
So now Big Tech decides who’s news and who isn’t? Wait a minute I thought they weren’t publishers? Which is it?
In the letter, penned by Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and his three colleagues Sens. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn), and Gary Peters (D-Mich), YouTube is urged to remove election misinformation videos that “boost false fraud claims, seek to delegitimize the 2020 election results, sow public discord and fuel civil unrest.”
“[T]he platform is now home to an ”˜onslaught of videos aiming to undermine the legitimacy of the election,’” the senators wrote, quoting a Bloomberg article. “These videos seek to undermine our democracy and cast doubt on the legitimacy of President-elect Biden’s incoming administration. Moreover, because the current president has not committed to a peaceful transition of power, misinformation and manipulated media content on your platform may fuel civil unrest.”
The senators called on YouTube to implement a prohibition on misinformation videos ahead of the Georgia run-off elections on January 5.
Under the platform’s current guidelines which were adopted in August, users are not prohibited from posting content that questions election results or how election official count votes.
“The outcome of these races will determine what party controls the U.S. Senate; and for that reason, the races are expected to garner significant national interest,” the senators wrote. “YouTube and its industry peers must take responsibility and immediately stop the spread of misinformation and manipulated media on their platforms.”

Misinformation is deadly Matt, when are you going to figure that out? How many lives could have been saved if your dear orange colored leader had just told the truth in the beginning of February? We might have been able to come together as a country and fight this virus with all the pertinent information that was available Instead he lied, Pence lied and so the games began. Misinformation/disinformation kills. It hurts innocent people like the Seth Rich family, who was already hurting after losing their son in a horrific way, yet you continued to spread a disinformation/misinformation campaign so that you could line your pockets, and try and get some recognition without any thought or care of harm to innocent folks. Maybe you should apply at OAN or NewsMax, then you could have them pay out whatever settlements need to be paid out instead of having a go fund me….7 figures from Faux News does not erase the pain of losing a child, however I sure hope to god it gives pause to those who want to spread slanderous lies about someone’s murder, or misinformation about a pandemic or even Election misinformation a second thought before doing it. Only sociopaths with no conscious do these things to harm others for benefit for themselves. Might I suggest picking up that Bible and really read it…#BeBest
That’s exactly what’s wrong! The democrat party and the mainstream news media are the liars!! They have been the purveyors of false information and try to shut down anyone who speaks truth!! All they have ever done is push hate for a President who has really did great things for American Citizens.. IT IS PROVEN they have cheated in this 2020 Election by spreading lies and withholding pertinent information like the Hunter Biden scandal, Biden’s sexual assault on Tara Reade, allegations of Biden’s pedophilia, Biden’s quid pro quo in Ukraine and his indictment by Ukranian Government Officials, His role with Obama in the unmasking of Lt General Flynn, and the pay for play enrichment of his whole family while he was Vice President .. a third of democrat voters have said had they known about these scandals, which MSM and the democrat party tried to hide, they would not have voted for Biden.. but the truth is President Trump won the Presidential Election.. Fraud in the democrat controlled states has been massive!! The Dominion voting machines and Systamatic software are being proven to have been manipulated for Biden!! The four democrats signing this letter are as corrupted and without any regard for truth in voters rights.. if they did they would not be trying to get You tube to censor OANN or any other Conservative News platform. The democrat party and the lying democrat controlled news media CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, Washington Post, New York Times, etc,are all trying to run interference for a dementia, racist, sexist, corrupt old man who is not capable of being President of the United States of America. He intends to hand America over to Communist China and the the New World Order!! For Humanity ”˜s sake, find your decency and reject their evil unconstitutional tyrannical power grab that will destroy Americans lives!! Biden DID NOT WIN but they are trying to steal an election vote by fraud and corruption to destroy the Freedoms of all Americans!!
