YouTube, the online video-sharing platform, will begin removing content from its site related to voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election.
On Wednesday, the tech giant made the announcement.
Republican Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) took to Twitter the same day to respond. He criticized the policy by saying, “Repeal Section 230 and break these companies up.”
.@Google owned @YouTube officially announcing free speech no longer allowed. If you have concerns about election integrity, you must sit down and shut up. Repeal Section 230 and break these companies up https://t.co/EfBfCZHzv2

Section 230 protects YouTube and other social media companies from liability for user-generated content. This allows them to monitor, label and even censor the content posted on their site, including posts from President Trump, without any repercussions.
YouTube said it’s trying to find a middle ground between allowing free political speech and making sure the platform isn’t used to cause harm. However, Republicans are beginning to feel otherwise.
Since September, the video service said it has taken down 8,000 channels and thousands of videos related to the election.
Rival media networks, such as Facebook and Twitter, have already been monitoring election content by creating warning labels and limiting user interaction.
On Saturday, Twitter limited users from interacting with a series of President Trump’s tweets, which caused backlash from Trump supporters on the platform.
Meanwhile, the President and his legal team continue to fight against voter fraud and pursue legal action in numerous states.

Biden was a puppet under Obama, why would people think he would be different now, or honest for that matter?
Smart Lady
Biden has never been honest just like every other demonrat including obama(SS).
Biden has never been honest jut like every demonrat, including obama.
Not only youtube, but I have been in facebook jail a total of 10 times and the first one was when i was doing a brief history of all the presidents from Washington to the present. I was stopped for 2 weeks when i got to GW Bush.
Obama stayed in DC for a reason. Most Presidents get out of town fast, to decompress from the pressures.
Can you be dishonest when you are too brain dead to know the difference?
What would you expect of someone who will cheat to get into office. Also lie about the crooked activities him and his son were involved in.
Shame on you. You will never make a president. Everyone knows you are just a puppet being run by a bunch of socialists. God bless and keep the United States Of America.
I SUBSCRIBE TO YOU TUBE. I THINK ITS TIME TO START LOOKING FOR ANOTHER SOURCE ! THANKS JOE
They are confirmed liars. Marxists are left to destroy our great POTUS & USA
The United States no longer measures JUSTICE with the same stick, “The Golden Rule” applies, “He who has the gold, makes the rules”!
