YouTube – the de facto video sharing platform of the internet – has taken it upon itself to determine what’s accurate and what isn’t by prohibiting particular opinions that defy the narrative. In the latest big example of social media censorship, the Google-owned platform banned Sen. Rand Paul for a week after he insisted that “cloth masks don’t work,” as The Post Millennial reported.
"A badge of honor ... leftwing cretins at Youtube banning me for 7 days for a video that quotes 2 peer reviewed articles saying cloth masks don't work," Paul tweeted Tuesday.

Speaking on his show on Friday night, Carlson announced that the mainstream media declines to acknowledge the power utilized by the CEOs of social media companies like YouTube’s Susan Wojcicki, whom he cites as an instance of someone who is “now in charge of your life” notwithstanding having “no relevant qualifications to justify the power they now hold.”

“What's infuriating is that they won't admit this. They pretend that the control they wield is part of the natural order of things somehow, that they deserve it, that they’re God. Most of them forget that not so long ago they worked in the marketing department. Susan Wojcicki announced that she plans to censor any information about COVID that she doesn't like, even if that information has been posted by physicians who are treating COVID,” announced Carlson.

Referring to an interview Wojcicki did with CNN’s Brian Stelter, whom Carlson referred to as a “eunuch,” Carlson pointed out how the CNN host appeared weak in his failure to confront Wojcicki.

“In no sane country would Susan Wojcicki be in charge of determining what constitutes problematic medical disinformation,” stated Carlson. “And certainly, in no sane country would she be allowed to silence physicians who are treating the virus.”

“But because of the way our system is structured, Wojcicki is certainly allowed to do that, and so she is. This week Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, who, by the way, is an actual doctor, not just some guy who rented his garage to Larry Page in the 90s, tried to make an obvious point. And it's this: The masks that you buy at the airport in order to comply with federal law will not keep you from getting COVID,” continued Carlson.
“Rand Paul was not just guessing about this, the science is very clear, no honest person will deny that,” Carlson added. “But Susan Wojcicki doesn't think you should know that because that'll make you harder to control. So she pulled Rand Paul's video from YouTube.”
