Summary

YouTube and Big Tech platforms continue to suppress experts and physicians who dissent from the CDC’s pandemic narrative, punishing channels under the guise of a “medical misinformation” policy. In response, 2024 Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. filed a lawsuit against Google, demanding “a judicial declaration that YouTube’s medical misinformation policies are unconstitutional on their face.” Attorney Viva Frei discusses the legality of YouTube’s policies, the suppression of discussion through demonetization, activist organizations like Media Matters and the Center For Countering Digital Hate (recently sued by X), and why important voices are moving to Rumble and Twitter. David Freiheit AKA Viva Frei is an attorney and host of “Viva Frei” on Rumble and Locals.com. He also cohosts the legal podcast “Viva and Barnes Live” at https://VivaBarnes.Locals.com.
