There are many articles out there that cover this. YouTube made the announcement today.

This censorship includes videos from the President himself.

Regardless of your hopes for who is the president from January 20th on, this feels like an overreach of censorship, considering that there are court cases debating election irregularities in several states. Texas is even sueing Georgia over the controversy.

Whoever you support for president, I would think that an open and respectful discussion on these topics would be helpful. Idiots and liars can be debated off the stage. We do not need to blacklist people.

This is my opinion, and I am just one person. Cheers to adults being able to respectfully discuss adult topics without being censored like children or fools. If these election claims are absurd, then let daylight reveal them as such, just like we have done for decades.
