YouTube Suspends Conservative Outlet Rebel News Over 3 Month Old Video on Censorship (Watch it Here)
Canadian conservative outlet Rebel News has been suspended from uploading, posting or live streaming on YouTube for one week over a three month old video about censorship.
Rebel Media has 1.45 million subscribers on the platform.
The video they were suspended for was ironically titled “If Big Tech can silence Trump, they can silence anyone”.
“This comes after YouTube’s decision last month to demonetize us (to ban all ads and donations). That knocked a $400,000 hole in our annual budget,” Rebel founder Ezra Levant said in a statement about the suspension. “I’m worried that YouTube plans to completely shut us down within weeks. (And I know a certain Canadian prime minister who would like that to happen before he calls an election.)”
Rebel has published 15,000 videos on YouTube in the last six years,
