Youtube, Twitter, and Facebook are aggressive in pushing their narratives and preventing other voices from publishing on their platforms. A German court fined Youtube for censoring speech. People were already protesting in the streets about Covid lockdowns, and Youtube removed a video of one of the protests.
Germany Fines YouTube Six Figures for Removing Video of Anti-Lockdown Protest
A German court is ordering YouTube to pay a $118,000 fine for removing the video of a protest against Covid-19 lockdowns filmed in Switzerland last year.
A regional court in Dresden ordered to pay the 100,000 Euro fine last week more than a year after the company ran afoul of German laws. The court ordered YouTube to put the video online in May 2020, a month after YouTube removed it, but the company took weeks to comply. YouTube unsuccessfully argued the video violated its policies on Covid-19 “misinformation.”
