YouTube bans Scott Ritter The site has completely scrubbed the channel of the former US intelligence officer, who has repeatedly voiced support for Russia YouTube has terminated the account of former US spy Scott Ritter and deleted all of his videos on the platform. According to Ritter, the Google-owned social media giant accused his channel of violating the terms of service. Writing on X (formerly known as Twitter), Ritter stated that his channel, 'The Scott Ritter Show', through which he attempted to "import Russian voices to an American/Western audience," had been flagged for 'hate speech' and taken down without prior warning or any specific examples of the offense. "There was never any hate speech involved in any of the episodes of 'The Scott Ritter Show', unless one views unique content from silenced voices hateful," Ritter said, calling the move "the latest in a series of actions by YouTube to silence Russian voices." "[This] represents the living manifestation of the disease of Russophobia which has swept America and US-based social media platforms," he wrote. In a separate post, Ritter noted that in addition to his channel, YouTube had also deleted the 'Ask The Inspector' channel, claiming that the move is "a targeted effort by YouTube to remove/minimize my voice, and those of my guests and the people who took the time to ask probing questions about the pressing issues of the day."
YouTube and Google know all your secrets and record them forever. Scott did a Weiner over ten years ago, nothing compared to Hunter.
Hunter isn't running a YT channel virtue signaling about morals like Ritter. And right wingers who are so obsessed with children suddenly don't give a shit about a pedophile because he says things they agree with.
Went to prison twice but is the sound of freedom when it comes to anti-Ukraine talking points for conservatives.
It's a slippery slope when social media bans people at the behest of government or for unpopular opinions. Ritter wasn't banned for any of his criminal issues.
Why doesn’t Ritter simply publish the email from YouTube stating why his account was terminated — rather than making absurd claims about his termination. Most likely he was terminated because he continually shoveled disinformation violating YouTube’s terms of service.
"Scott Ritter was banned from YouTube on August 11, 2023 for violating the platform's policy prohibiting hate speech. According to a banner that appears on Ritter's channel, he was banned for "multiple or severe violations" of this policy." So a guy who went to prison for pedophilia..
