On Wednesday, YouTube permanently banned conservative commentator Dan Bongino from the platform, saying he attempted to evade a previous suspension reportedly given for breaking the platform’s COVID-19 misinformation policy.
The last video Bongino posted on his channel was called “Why I’m Leaving YouTube.” Then he was banned from the platform entirely.
“When a channel receives a strike, it is against our Terms of Service to post content or use another channel to circumvent the suspension,” a YouTube spokesperson told The Hill.Bongino had been posting on his main YouTube channel while his secondary channel, which mostly posted short clips from his radio show, was suspended for violating YouTube’s COVID-19 misinformation policy.The platform said that both of Bongino’s channels have been removed from he website, and he will not be able to create a new one in the future. The spokesperson also confirmed that any new channels “associated with his name” will also be denied.“Hilarious watching the @YouTube communists desperately try to save face after we told them to go f%^* themselves,” Bongino Report wrote on Twitter. “They’re claiming we ‘tried to evade suspension.’ Really? By posting a final video LITERALLY titled ‘Why I’m Leaving YouTube’?”In response to his suspension earlier this month, Bongino wrote on Twitter: “YouTube just suspended Dan’s channel for daring to question the mask fascists. I guess they were waiting for an apology from us. But that’s not quite how it worked out for them. Here’s Dan’s email to ‘Coco’ at YouTube telling them to plant a big wet kiss on his ass.”
The Great Reset is the name of the 50th annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, held in June 2020. It brought together high-profile business and political leaders, convened by Charles, Prince of Wales and the WEF, with the theme of changing society and the economy following the COVID-19 pandemic.
Facebook censors my video, calling it “partly false.”
Before Facebook censored it, my video, “Are We Doomed”, got more 24 million views. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8JZo… Now Facebook won’t show it to many people — not even to my subscribers. Facebook’s also punishing Stossel TV by showing our other videos less. All because Facebook foolishly gave Emmanuel Vincent, a recent PhD graduate from France, the power to censor. Vincent assembled a group of like-minded scientists into a group called Climate Feedback climatefeedback.org that declared parts of my video “misleading,” or “partially false.”
What facts did the “fact-checkers” correct? NONE! There was not a single hard fact that in the video that was wrong. We address the censor’s claims here, listing our sources: https://www.johnstossel.com/climate-f… I asked one Vincent “reviewer,” the only one willing to be interviewed, why I deserve censorship even though our facts were correct. “The problem is the omission of contextual information rather than specific “facts” being “wrong,”” says Patrick Brown, Assistant Professor at San Jose State University. Some “fact-check.” “What kills me,” I complain to Brown, “is that when Climate Feedback rates me partly false, that significantly reduces the number of people who see it — and see my other videos.
So this is really important to me that it be done fairly.” “I am sympathetic with what you’re saying,” he responds. “At the same time as a consumer of information, I like the idea of having some type of system where content can be compared to what experts think.” But Facebook’s choice of “experts” is absurd. Emmanuel Vincent proudly says “all the climate scientists that I know personally agree that climate change is real, that it’s serious, and we can do something about it.” Well, of course climate change is real! But how serious a threat it is, and whether we can do much about it with today’s technology deserves debate. Victor’s little group STOPS debate. Remarkably, Facebook lets them. Watch the video above and decide for yourself.
