Former President Trump gave a stellar speech at last week’s CPAC and YouTube moved to immediately shut it down and punish conservatives who posted it.
Right Side Broadcasting Network(RSBN) uploaded Trump’s CPAC speech to the platform, the video was taken down by YouTube and RSBN was banned from posting for 2 weeks.
From PJ Media:
“RSBN has been suspended from YouTube for two weeks because of the Trump [CPAC] speech, which violated their guidelines on election misinformation,” RSBN announced on Twitter Thursday. “The video was approaching 4 million views. They have also removed it from their platform.”
RSBN, a conservative media company founded in July 2015, became known for live-stream coverage of Trump’s rallies on YouTube. In December 2020, it began uploading videos to the alternative video streaming service Rumble. RSBN covered many legal hearings alleging fraud in the 2020 election, streamed Trump’s January 6 speech before the Capitol riot, and reached almost 1.5 million subscribers on YouTube in January.
RSBN later claimed that “even some of the major [news] networks had their video of Trump’s speech removed, though it is not clear if they also received a two week suspension and/or strike on their accounts like we did. Doubt it.”
The media refused to cover Trumps monumental speech and Big Tech is taking down many of these videos and clips from around the web. Major Silicon valley corporations have a stranglehold on information and keep tabs on what the American public can see online. Germany and other countries have hammered platforms for moves like this in the past but leaders in Washington have been pushing for more action like this.

Only ONE word needs to be changed in Section 230 to bring this sorry chapter of legal malfeasance to a close.
The original wording is “otherwise objectionable”.
The most consistent wording ought to be “similarly objectionable”.
This change would bring the whole of section 230 under the criminal code and would remedy the situation at hand while clearly delineating publishers vs. platforms.
The spirit of Section 230 is intended to prevent the abuse of children in publication but whomever thought the word “otherwise” would be preferable to the word “similarly” was seeking to expand the reach of the law beyond the protections of free speech afforded to platforms while retaining the ability of a publisher to censor with impunity.
If you have been keeping track of events over the past few years, MAP (Minor Attracted Persons) has been attempting to replace the word Pedophile. LGBTQLMNOP++ activists have been pushing to designate pedophiles as a gender and not a criminal activity. IMHO, this clearly indicates criminal intent with accessories after the fact doing apologetics for those who would do irreparable sexual harm to children.
Facebook is eaten up with TDS!
The Democrats/Leftists/Liberals/Socialists are going to try to ram as much of their BS through as they possibly can because they know that they only have between 2 and 4 years before they are out for good. If they can’t get all of their Pork through and get the country headed in the irreversible headlong plummet into Socialism they know that they will not get another chance. I don’t think that there are too many Democrats out there who are getting what they thought they would with the Biden Administration, what they got was the Biden Socialist Regime being run by Harris and a few others that just feed good old grandpa Joe a line of BS, telling him what a great job he is doing and now and then let him sniff someone’s hair.
Things are about to come to and end to those democrat oulet.2022 is a very crucial year for them. We need the senate and the house of reps,both house are wthin easy reach. after we win we wll pass bills, that will take away their power and protection after they loose,they could go to hell were they belong.
TIME to END the section 230 protection these leftist big media giants enjoy. They are VIOLATING FREE SPEECH and The RIGHT of AMERICANS to decide issues for themselves.
Big Tech(?) is not tech. They are instruments that the Dems use for blocking 1st. amendment rights that a lot of brave people fought and died to protect. We are no longer a free and open society. Instead we are allegedly under the heel of the great protector. There are a few who fall into that group. Three come to mind and in this order Biden, Soros & Kamala. The rest are just their minions or puppets on a string so to speak. The head puppets are Shumer and Peliosi.
MSM are free to print bias and to censor, because they are publishers and can be sued if they engage in character assassination or censor. But tech are protected from suits, since they have agreed to print and broadcast anything and everything, short of a call for violence, or a self contradiction.
Since big tech is doing the Democrats’ dirty work for them, they will not assure the American people that the MSM is crooked. That would be the pot calling the kettle black. And since big tech is also doing the Democrats’ dirty work for them (censorship) the Democrats will allow them to do anything they want to do. And that’s what Trump was trying to correct, as the Democrats stole the election in November.
I don’t know why that isn’t a violation of the First Amendment. It certainly looks like it to me.
