0:00.0 | Facebook has officially suspended me. This is the first time I've ever been suspended from the |
0:05.2 | platform for posting something they gained to be against the rules. I don't swear, I disagree |
0:10.6 | with hate speech, I regularly say we should do better, but I do support free speech. Well, Facebook |
0:15.6 | has suspended me for an overt act of journalism. I shared a link to a story from Politico, a mainstream |
0:21.5 | website, discussing why it's important we share the identity of the whistleblower, specifically |
0:27.6 | that the New York Times was right to out the whistleblower. Now, I want to make sure this clear, |
0:32.9 | what the story the New York Times did was gave us all of the key background details on the individual |

1:23.7 | reporting talking about the individual and their work history. They won't allow it. So I can't |
1:28.9 | say the name. The name has thus been censored from this video. We are entering dark times. |
1:35.6 | About a year and a half ago, I did a story debunking fake news from the mainstream media. |
1:41.7 | My video was taken down with a community guidelines strike. They said the person I was talking about, |
1:47.6 | I was bullying. No, I fact-checked the associated press, talking about an individual, and I was right. |
1:55.6 | A day or two later, the AP issued a retraction and correction, and then YouTube released my content. |
2:01.9 | At this point, I said, listen, we must defend free speech because they will use all of this |
