If you want to "Reclaim the Net", maybe you should start by hosting your own videos. Food for thought.


So it's not because the video was a fake? But because it violates "community guidelines"? Whose community is that exactly? The one that wants and needs transparency and truth? Or the one that benefits from the lack there of?

Needless to say, Google must mean the latter.


Gotcha journalism by Project Veritas doesn't really work. It doesn't work when the left does it, and it doesn't work when the right does it either [1].

What matters more isn't what some executive says on camera, but like, you know actual documents, which can be subpoenaed in a court of law or by congress.

Project Veritas also reports on internal documents, like they did in the Google bias report: https://www.projectveritas.com/video/insider-blows-whistle-e...


Those in power get to decide which off-the-cuff remarks are worthy of reporting and those which are dangerous for the public to hear.


Exactly. I don't see how this reporting is any different to how other investigate journalists have used the same methods.

I guess someone at Big Phrama (Pfizer) did not like the video and contacted YouTube to remove it.
