The rightwingers love to whinge about censorship by Big Tech. We saw it in the congressional hearing this week when Musk tool Matt Taibbi continued to pretend Twitter discriminated against conservatives -- even as the reality that Trump demanded content be removed proved exactly the opposite.
But our pal Cliff Schecter has a real live case of doing nothing wrong but being punished over at Youtube. YouTube, unlike Twitter, actually has a pretty good policy of taking down conspiracies, from Qanon to COVID to election denial. But when Cliff's Blue Amp Channel had on Lauren Windsor as a guest, it didn't work the way it's supposed to.
The topic of Lauren's undercover interview with John Eastman -- lawyer and author of memos to overthrow our democracy -- proved he was an election fraudster engaging in a coup. YouTube, however, read the Blue Amp's debunking of John Eastman's election lies as sharing election lies. And nobody at the company will help Cliff rectify the situation.
So the video (which we previously posted here) was taken down, and YouTube gave Cliff's channel a strike, meaning he can't post, upload video or livestream for a week. So a liberal put a video up on YouTube to debunk conspiratorial lies about our election, and Youtube punished him for doing that.
Here's the shorter version of that video with Lauren, where she tells a hilarious story about how she infiltrated Mar-a-Lago with the help of a wig provided by Kathy Griffin.
