    Damn it is more evidence of Trump encouraging the insurrection. I am sure it will be played at his trials.

    A search of Trump's 2021 CPAC speech on YouTube returns various highlight videos that provide a recap as well as a couple videos that display it in full.

    Fox News' YouTube Channel, NewsNOW from Fox, posted an hour and a half video of Trump's full CPAC speech on Sunday that is accessible online.

    When one Twitter user posted "Donald Trumps CPAC speech was banned from YouTube today... what a joke. Who else is tired of being silenced by the left?" another user in response wrote "You mean this one?" and shared a link of NewsNOW from Fox's video.

    Sky News on YouTube also shared a full video on Monday of Trump's CPAC speech.

    Other news networks, such as Politico and NBC's TODAY, shared YouTube highlight videos of the speech.

    Claims that all copies of the speech were banned circulated online after conservative media group Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN) tweeted on Thursday:

    his spawned online reports, shared on social media, from right-leaning news sites such as The Gateway Pundit that said copies of the video were banned and cited RSBN's situation.

    "We enforce our Community Guidelines consistently, regardless of speaker or political leaning," Ivy Choi, a spokesperson for YouTube, said in an email to Newsweek on Friday.

    "In accordance with our established presidential election integrity policy, which prohibits content uploaded after the safe harbor deadline claiming widespread fraud changed the outcome of the 2020 U.S. presidential election, we removed this video from Right Side Broadcasting Network."

    According to YouTube, RSBN's video claimed widespread fraud impacted the 2020 election.

    YouTube began implementing their Presidential Election Integrity policy on December 9 to remove misleading content about the 2020 election that was uploaded on and after December 9.

    RSBN's account was suspended in accordance with YouTube's three strikes system, according to Choi.

    "We have begun issuing strikes for new content that violates the policy uploaded on or after January 7, 2021," YouTube's Presidential Election Integrity policy states.

    "This means that though the channel is still live, because it has received a strike, it's temporarily prevented from uploading new videos or live streams," Choi said. "Content featuring footage from CPAC 2021 that does not violate our policies or contains sufficient educational, documentary, scientific and artistic context remains on YouTube."

    The Ruling
    False.


    Videos of Trump's full 2021 speech at CPAC that do not violate YouTube's policies are available to be viewed on the platform.

    According to YouTube, the videos violate its supposedly “nonpartisan” community guidelines
    unless they contain qualifiers about “misleading election claims.”

    “We enforce our Community Guidelines consistently, regardless of speaker or political leaning,” a YouTube spokeswoman told The Federalist. “In accordance with our established presidential election integrity policy, which prohibits content uploaded after the safe-harbor deadline claiming widespread fraud changed the outcome of the 2020 U.S. presidential election, we removed this video from Right Side Broadcasting Network.”

    The spokeswoman clarified that “content featuring footage from CPAC 2021 that does not violate our policies or contains sufficient educational, documentary, scientific and artistic context remains on YouTube,” but did not elaborate further.

    Videos that survived YouTube’s first purge of the speech are still subject to removal under the “presidential election integrity” policy, which states that any content posted after Dec. 9, 2020, “that advances false claims that widespread fraud, errors, or glitches changed the outcome of any past U.S. presidential election” will be removed unless they contain qualifiers on Trump’s claims.

    YouTube has a history of creating policies to justify its nuking of certain videos, creators, and viewpoints.
    In early February, YouTube deplatformed LifeSiteNews without warning. Later, YouTube told The Federalist that the pro-life outlet “repeatedly violated our COVID-19 misinformation policy, which prohibits content that promotes prevention methods that contradict local health authorities or WHO.”

    The same policy was used to justify removing two videos from a Senate hearing about COVID-19 treatments in late January. Republican Sen. Ron Johnson posted about the censorship on Twitter

    “Social media censorship just ratcheted up to a new level. Google’s YouTube removed two videos of doctors testifying under oath at my US Senate hearing on early treatment of COVID,” the Wisconsin Republican wrote on Twitter. “Another body blow to freedom of speech and expression. Very sad and scary. Where does this end?”

    YouTube's chief executive has said the platform may lift Donald Trump's suspension, if the threat of "real-world violence" decreases.

    CEO Susan Wojcicki said the company will look at government warnings and violent rhetoric to determine when it's safe to lift the suspension.

    Following the Capitol Hill riot on 6 January that left five dead, Mr Trump's account was suspended.

    YouTube said he had violated their incitement of violence policy.

    THANKS YOUTUBE! Thanks for being a responsible media outlet!
