YouTube removed a podcast that interviewed the former President of the United States. The UFC's president Dana White thinks it's bullsh*t and that people need to wake up to the free speech ramifications when even non-political podcasts can get yeeted off social media for saying the "wrong thing" once.

White appeared on Logan Paul's Impaulsive podcast.

DANA WHITE FREAKS OUT OVER DONALD TRUMP PODCAST BEING REMOVED FROM YOUTUBEyoutu.be

"The fact that Trump’s podcast with Full Send got taken down is fucking disgusting and more importantly it’s scary. [...] we’re all becoming so dependent on social media […] everybody’s worst fucking nightmare is that your shit gets taken down! […] You have to start looking at the consequences of something like the Full Send podcast being taken down."

At issue is the Full Send Podcast of which even Dana White has been on himself. They interviewed Donald Trump. Donald Trump said a thing about the 2020 election that we are told we are not allowed to say. Trump even said, "this video will probably be taken down." And he was right. Full Send is a NON-POLITICAL PODCAST. But a "wrong thing" was said once.

The Hill, which is a mainstream media outlet, had their YouTube channel suspended for airing a clip of Trump saying a thing about the 2020 election. NOTE: There are still videos up of Stacey Abrams questioning the legitimacy of the 2018 election. Also, of the shrill harpies from "The View" questioning the legitimacy of the 2016 election. Jen Psaki also questioned the legitimacy of the 2016 election during a national security briefing with TikTok Influencers. But she didn't do so on YouTube.

I agree with Dana White about it being disgusting and scary. However, a nonpolitical podcast having it happen to them SHOULD wake up other nonpolitical people because it's not just YouTube removing videos about the 2020 election. And it's not news to political shows. We had a video removed celebrating the one-year anniversary of the pandemic. Why? Because we accurately repeated CDC data. However, we repeated CDC data in a way that YouTube decided was "misinformation" that week. It happens all the time. And it doesn't just happen when Trump is involved.

We need more apolitical people like Logan Paul and the NELK Boys to realize that even they are not safe so they wake up their apolitical audience. This isn't a "right-wing" thing. It's a Big-Tech-having-too-much-power-to-control-information thing.
