Part 8/11:
While social media platforms were the primary venues for suppression, the scope extended far beyond. Facebook closed down pages, groups, and individual users, ostensibly to combat misinformation. According to reports, over 130,000 videos related to COVID-19 vaccines were removed from YouTube alone in 2021, often for merely discussing safety concerns or treatment options.
Prominent banned figures include David Icke, Dr. Joseph Mercola, and RFK Jr.’s Children’s Health Defense. These bans weren’t based on direct evidence of harmful content but appeared rooted in political and institutional pressure.
