# YouTube Strikes Down Ron Paul As Crackdown On Independent Media Expands

August 28, 2017 Sean Adl-Tabatabai News, US 4

YouTube has banished former US Congressman Ron Paul from its platform as their crackdown on independent media reaches unprecedented new heights.

As the war on independent journalists and outlets rumbles on, Ron Paul has become Silicon Valley’s latest victim, with YouTube censors declaring the videos “unsuitable” for advertisers due to their antiestablishment views.

In a tweet sent out on Saturday, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange provided a screenshot of Paul’s “Liberty Report” channel proving that all of his videos had indeed been demonetized on the YouTube platform.

Zerohedge.com reports: Assange claims that Paul was being punished for speaking out about President Donald Trump’s decision to increase the number of US troops in Afghanistan, after Paul published a video on the subject earlier this week.

The notion that YouTube would want to economically punish a former US Congressman for sharing his views on US foreign policy – a topic that he is unequivocally qualified to speak about – is absurd. Furthermore, the “review requested” marking on one of Paul’s videos reveals that they were initially flagged by users before YouTube’s moderators confirmed that the videos were unsuitable for a broad audience.

Other political commentators who’ve been censored by YouTube include Paul Joseph Watson and Tim Black – both ostensibly for sharing political views that differ from the mainstream neo-liberal ideology favored by the Silicon Valley elite.

Last week, Google – another Alphabet Inc. company – briefly banned Salil Mehta, an adjunct professor at Columbia and Georgetown who teaches probability and data science, from using its service, freezing his accounts without providing an explanation. He was later allowed to return to the service.

Conservative journalist Lauren Southern spoke out about YouTube’s drive to stifle politically divergent journalists and commentators during an interview with the Daily Caller.

“I think it would be insane to suggest there’s not an active effort to censor conservative and independent views,” said Southern.

“Considering most of Silicon Valley participate in the censorship of alleged ‘hate speech,’ diversity hiring and inclusivity committees. Their entire model is based around a far left outline. There’s no merit hiring, there’s no support of free speech and there certainly is not an equal representation of political views at these companies.”

Of course, Google isn’t the only Silicon Valley company that’s enamored with censorship. Facebook has promised to eradicate “fake news,”which, by its definition, includes political content that falls outside of the mainstream.

Still, economically punishing a former US Congressman and medical doctor is a new low in Silicon Valley’s campaign to stamp out dissent.

  There has to be an alternative to Google and You tube that collectively we can turn too. Why do I have to log in to comment on any site. Why does my cell phone never give any alternatives except Google and Apple. The net is closing literally.

  Welcome to your future — a totalitarian state— which is what the left want to achieve. A completely independent alternative to Utube is badly needed.
