FYI, YouTube is a private platform. It is not a public forum. Google has the right to ban anyone who violates the terms of their service.

YouTube 'not a public forum' with guaranteed free speech
First Amendment rights do not force YouTube to host or promote videos, a court rules.

SFC Bernard Walko Yes it is, but that doesn't mean anyone has to listen to the village idiot.

Trump calls for the termination of the Constitution in Truth Social post | CNN Politics
Former President Donald Trump called for the termination of the Constitution to overturn the 2020 election and reinstate him to power Saturday in a continuation of his election denialism and pushing of fringe conspiracy theories.

Typical...suspend the right and let the left spew vitriolic hate messages towards one side. Remember free speech is good only if you are a democrat!!! Candace calls out the left for who they are exposing them for their lies and actions, and they can't stand her, so they use their social media influence and ban her...not surprised.

Free speech is fine, from the right or left, until it violates the policies of a private entity.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - Jack my issue exactly. A small business owner speaks out about their beliefs against LGBTQ or any other title or moniker you put in front of it and they get sued because they refuse their business based on their policies of the company...if this is a private business and can do what and censor what they want then it should apply to all businesses...regardless of subject matter.

Lt Col Scott Shuttleworth But your comparing apples to oranges with the LGBTQ example. That was about equal rights, not free speech. While similar they have different requirements under the law and Constitution.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - NOPE...it is about the business owners expressing their right to speak up against what they don't beleive in. Same for YouTube...they have standards of what they will publish based on the owners subjective standards...no different...except it doesn't fit the narrative...free speech is free speech. Whether we like it or not. So, if a Hamas backer owns a bakery and an American Israeli or someone walks in supporting Israel with a shirt and they refuse service cause they support Hamas and not Israel is that not free speech, as disgusting as that sounds, or does that fall into your definition of law and constitution? Or if a redneck wants to take his wife out to a "nice" restaurant and he wears his best overalls and a T-shirt and they turn him away because he doesn't meet their dress code is that discrimination or their free speech as established by the owners? Not apples and oranges it is nitpicking by a censoring social media site only promoting what they believe in.
