Another Big Tech Attack on Free Speech, Stefan Molyneux Handed Two “Strikes” on YouTube

A right-wing pundit’s YouTube page is on the verge of a total ban after he racked up two “strikes” for violating community standards, likely the result of leftist targeting.
“Within 24 hours, my @YouTube channel has received two community guidelines strikes – likely as a result of a mass flagging campaign – and is now on the verge of total deletion. Please respectfully contact @TeamYouTube and alert them to this injustice,” Molyneux wrote on Twitter with an accompanying statement.
His YouTube channel is currently locked and set to “private.”
“Almost immediately after returning from a speaking tour of Australia and New Zealand, and after getting my final all-clear cancer checkup, the YouTube strikes against Freedomain Radio – the world’s most popular philosophy show – began,” he wrote.
“Apparently, I had “violated community standards” by publishing a short video last year entitled “The Death of White Males,” which discussed the decline in life expectancy for white makes, in part due to the opioid crisis,” he continued.
He received another strike for a video he did with British right-wing firebrand Katie Hopkins.
