Rand Paul is right to quit YouTube

Christopher Tremoglie writes at the Washington Examiner, “Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul announced he would quit YouTube on Monday. YouTube has previously removed videos from the senator because the platform said they contained misinformation.

@RandPaul leads the way in challenging Big Tech's censorship on Republicans. By announcing he is quitting YouTube, he is telling the country that enough is enough. Paul should be commended for quitting YouTube and saying so publicly.https://t.co/3Ix4DBAfNf

However, in reality, it was only deemed such because the administrators at YouTube disagreed with what Paul was saying. Because of this censorship, Paul has decided to leave the platform "unless it is to criticize the platform or announce that viewers can see his content on Rumble.com." This is an admirable step by Paul, and other politicians should follow suit…

This is a vital step in combating Big Tech's assault on the news. YouTube's removal of Paul's videos in the past is an example of this encroachment. The company previously removed some of his videos criticizing the efficacy of wearing masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19. YouTube categorized the video as misinformation despite Paul showing scientific data supporting his claim.”
