“YouTube just completely removed the LifeSiteNews YouTube channel. This isn’t a temporary ban; every single one of our videos is completely gone,” the group announced on its website on Feb. 10. “Thankfully, we have backups of all our videos, but this means hundreds of thousands of people have lost access to our truth-telling content.”
LifeSiteNews’ about page says its website is “a non-profit Internet service dedicated to issues of culture, life, and family.” The pro-life group, based in Toronto, said it had some 300,000 followers on its channel before it was eliminated. The group is leading its readers to its other video channel on Rumble and its email alerts for new videos. It is also requesting donations to help build its alternative platforms.

“As a result, we were given two strikes and suspended for multiple weeks, unable to post any new content. We were informed at that time that if another violation occurred within 90 days, we would be removed permanently,” the statement reads.

Doug Mainwaring, a journalist for LifeSiteNews, wrote in a blog post written on the group’s website: “This is no longer a game of trying to play by the Tech Titans’ arbitrary, leftist, virtue-signaling rules.

“It’s crystal clear: YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and the others have now fully weaponized their platforms against conservatives in general and orthodox Christians in particular,” he wrote. “Emboldened by the advent of the Biden-Harris regime’s takeover of the White House, social media has ramped up its fascist silencing tactics.”
