Written by newsbusters.org It’s not the first time a Big Tech executive bragged about censoring speech online, and it likely won’t be the last.
A YouTube executive testified at a Senate hearing yesterday that the platform had removed more than one million videos for so-called COVID-19 “misinformation.”
YouTube Vice President of Government Affairs and Public Policy Leslie Miller testified at an Oct. 26 U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science & Transportation hearing that the Google-owned platform had removed over a million videos with alleged “COVID misinfo,” including over 130,000 videos on “Covid vaccine misinfo.”
The hearing was titled, “Protecting Kids Online: Snapchat, TikTok, and YouTube.”
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) came back to a predominating theme for the left at recent Senate hearings, her call for more censorship, particularly of alleged COVID-19 “misinformation.” Klobuchar asked YouTube’s Miller, “I also, uh, just had a follow-up on your, uh, YouTube banning all vaccine misinformation, which I, uh, commended you for at the time. How much content have you removed related to this policy change since you banned all anti-vaccine misinformation?”
Miller was unable to answer immediately but soon found the requested information. “On COVID misinfo, we’ve removed over a million videos since we started rolling out COVID misinfo, uh, and over a 130,000 videos as it relates, uh, to COVID vaccine misinfo,” Miller testified of YouTube. “So it’s an area we’ve put a lot of resources behind to make sure our platform isn’t promoting or allowing this type of content.”
YouTube stated in August that it had removed more than 1 million videos “related to dangerous coronavirus information” since February 2020.

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
