    He is not being censored. He is quite literally being given a platform where he can speak to the world for free. He’s just not getting paid for it because Google doesn’t want to risk monetising the videos.

      Well, I see it closer to censorship like many others have been censored.

      When they removed the “monetising” it is used to deter people from talking a certain way.

        Isn’t it free speech for an advertiser to not want his product to become associated with a possible rapist?

          You have a point on that one.

          Thank you for pointing it out directly.

          Have a great day!

        Do you believe that the fact you weren’t paid for the comment you just typed means that you have been “censored”?

          Nope.

          People with a voice being censored is the problem, how will the lay person have any chance if the influential and known get censored/cancelled.

            Once again. He can continue to have his voice on YouTube, Rumble,Twitter etc.

            As can you, I and the women who he is alleged to have sexually assaulted and raped

              Alleged, look into Julian Assange smear campaign by the MSM.

              MSM number one goto strategy to “cancel” any nonstatus quo speakers.

              Be it: race, sex, religion, etc.

              Censorship always happens in the tech. world before any crimes are proved.

                Oh come now. Brand transformed himself from a MSM figure into a marginal figure, by (a) being a bit of a one-trick-pony that people got a bit bored of (b) by banging on short conspiracy theories about vaccines etc.

                The idea that the MSM media moved to ‘cancel’ him because he was a threat to the establishment is pretty laughable. Now Assange - yes, was a threat.

                Trying to draw parallels between the two is a huge stretch

                  The main problem is the:

                  Guilty until proven innocent

                  More and more people that are talking about anti-status quo keep being smeared by MSM.

                    Yup, that whole #MeToo thing is just about stopping discussions about whether vaccines are evil and whether climate change is real
