Kennedy Jr. is taking legal action against Google and YouTube,\u200b accusing them of infringing on his right to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/project-veritas-strips-cnn-naked\/\" title=\"Project Veritas Strips CNN Naked\">free speech<\/a>. The lawsuit, filed on\u2064 Wednesday, claims that Kennedy was the first person censored by President Joe Biden \u200dand warns of continued suppression as\u2064 the primary elections draw\u2062 near.<\/p>\n<p>In the complaint, \u2063Kennedy argues that\u200c YouTube, as a &#8220;digital town square&#8221;\u2064 connected to the government, is prohibited \u200cfrom censoring his speeches and interviews on the\u2064 platform. He asserts that the United\u200c States government, under Biden&#8217;s leadership, has taken extraordinary measures to silence voices \u2063it does not want Americans to hear.<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit \u2062highlights YouTube&#8217;s repeated censorship of Kennedy&#8217;s videos based on its &#8220;vaccine misinformation&#8221; \u200bpolicies. Kennedy, who founded the anti-vaccine charity Children&#8217;s Health Defense, has been \u2064vocal in his opposition to certain vaccines, including those for COVID-19. The complaint points out that YouTube&#8217;s policies \u2063rely on government officials to determine what information should be censored, effectively allowing the government to dictate the platform&#8217;s content moderation.<\/p>\n<p>While other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ga-poll-watcher-it-expert-non-trump-supporter-affidavit-sudden-surge-of-20000-mail-in-votes-for-biden-in-early-hours-on-nov\/\" title=\"GA Poll Watcher, IT Expert, Non-Trump Supporter Affidavit: Sudden Surge of 20,000 Mail-In-Votes For Biden In Early Hours On Nov\">social media companies<\/a> have eased their \u200bsuppression of Kennedy since he announced his candidacy, YouTube continues \u2063to remove his content, according \u200bto the lawsuit. This censorship campaign not \u2064only \u2062hinders Kennedy&#8217;s ability \u200bto reach\u200d millions of voters but also makes it more \u2063challenging for his supporters to amplify his \u200dmessage through public channels.<\/p>\n<h3>Is Big \u200dTech\u2062 Biased?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Yes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No<\/p>\n<p><em>Completing this\u200b poll entitles you to The Western Journal news updates free of charge.
