Popular YouTuber Ethan Klein says one of his channels was penalized Friday for discussing Alex Jones and the recent ban across social media of Infowars content.

Klein and his wife Hila, who run several prominent channels with millions of followers, reportedly had their podcasts livestream shut down in the middle of discussing the issue.

A tweet by Klein states that not only was the stream interrupted, but that the channel received a strike in the process.

In a subsequent remark Klein said their streaming ability had also been removed, forcing them to finish the show offline.

The H3 Podcast channel, which currently holds more than 1.6 million subscribers, features prominent guests and regularly focuses on current events.

YouTube said in a response to Klein that it was looking into what happened and would respond in due time.

But of course it's conservatives who are the evil nazi cult that want to silence speech right?
One group is accused of talking about it. The other is actually doing it.

YouTube doesn't automatically fall under right of left.

Youtube can do what they want since they are a private business. If you don't like their rules go use some other service.

What if a big internet service provider one day decided to shut off internet service to people because of their speech or political associations on the internet, and not because they ever did anything illegal

They're a private business after all.

A website is not an ISP. If a company/website doesn't want to be associated with someone currently being sued for pushing insane conspiracy theories about dead kids, or his defenders, that's their right.

(not to mention the fact that the sources here are this idiot podcast and infowars itself)

Censorship is a slippery slope.

The right is just being targeted because with respect to social acceptance among the coastal and urban elite, it's low hanging fruit that nobody enthusiastically objects to.

But they'll censor anyone with the right pretense, if you'll keep in mind at least a couple BLM activists were purged under the pretense of cracking down on Russian bots, and Facebook actively purges outspoken users at the request of the United States and Israeli governments.

In the end, anyone who is really at odds with the beliefs of the elites will find themselves silenced sooner or later should this keep up.

In this particular case, the problem is that a stream was apparently shut down for discussing Alex Jones. It's also worth mentioning for those too lazy to click the Twitter link like I almost was that YouTube subsequently determined it was shut down in error and removed the strike.

Oh sorry, yeah you're right. I was talking about Alex Jones but obviously the h3h3 podcast has nothing to do with him breaking rules. My bad.

Has there been any official explanation for what exactly they did wrong? I mean there's no rule against discussing banned Youtubers right?

Lol man I just noticed I said "Facebook's rules" in my original post. Damn I need to stop trying to post while I'm stoned.

Maybe they whipped up an algorithm that flags anything about Alex Jones (I heard the thumbnail pictured Alex Jones) and one of their assholes approved on shutting it down after seeing their huge subscriber count. Trigger-happy authoritarians.

You don't have to support Alex Jones to object to censorship. It's a matter of principle more than anything.

But it does make people curious (even the normies) when someone that has amassed a huge following is shut down across several platforms all at once.
