Of course, we are leading one of the top stories, which was Google essentially admitted, hey, yes, we were censoring. Yes, we have deactivated thousands of accounts, including YouTube accounts for a lot of people. We obviously |
| 0:42.0 | knew that was happening. Yes, because we knew well-known people, some who we were representing. |
| 0:46.9 | Some who are now the current deputy director of the FBI, Dan Bongina, was at one of those people. |
