- (General Dispatch) – Google, the company in charge of YouTube, removed the news channel LifeSite for violating its rules and promoting misinformation.
- A YouTube member clarified “In accordance with our long standing strikes system, we terminated the channel LifeSite News Media for repeatedly violating our COVID-19 misinformation policy, which prohibits content that promotes prevention methods that contradict local health authorities or who,”
- “Any channel that violates our COVID-19 misinformation policy will receive a strike, which temporarily restricts uploading or live-streaming. Channels that receive three strikes in the same 90-day period will be permanently removed from YouTube.”
- Google’s censorship policies have become more aggressive over time in its quest to combat misinformation, racism and child protection.
- Gualberto Garcia Jones, Vice President of LifeSite News, said “The truth is, we’ve been anticipating this for some time, YouTube, along with other Big Tech corporations, are simply not interested in allowing anyone to dissent from their state-approved, liberal ideology,”
- “Fortunately, we’ve already taken preemptive measures to ensure the truth will continue to reach the ears of those most in need of it in these dictatorial times.”
- Gualberto assured that his news portal is already available on different sites such as Telegram, Rumble and Gam as he is willing to fight against YouTube censorship and big companies.
- On the other hand, Google assures that it will continue to be implacable against any channel or content that violates its policies no matter who or where it is from.
