Google has deleted one of the best and largest left-wing media outlets in the UK. No warning or explanation was provided. Just zapped it out of existence.
Congratulations to online censorship advocates: this is the system of repression and arbitrary silencing you created!

Maybe the unseen Google overlords who made this decision will reverse it. Maybe they won't. 🤷♂️
@novaramedia and its employees will now just wait around helplessly as they see if hidden authorities allow them to be heard, like desperate, hapless defendants in a Kafka novel.

In many ways, liberals and even the left are reaping what they've sown: not just by cheering a regime of censorship in the belief it wouldn't be used against them, but also serving tech monopolies by demonizing any free speech alternatives - like Rumble - as right-wing sites.
Liberals have created a framework where there are only two legitimate venues: 1) corporate media outlets or 2) tech monopolies like Google and Facebook.
So when they are excluded and censured and banned there, they have no alternatives, because they've demonized all others.

Trying to turn free speech into a *right-wing* value is one of the dumbest fucking things liberals have done. Now when they're censored by corporate giants or the state, they have no principles on which to object, no values to which they can appeal: just have to beg for reversal.
Amazing: the head of @novaramedia himself previously defended the right of tech giants to arbitrarily censor and delete accounts when it was his adversaries who were the victims. Now this morning he's complaining when it happened to him:

Blessed be the Google overlords, for they have shown mercy in this case and decided that, at least for now, @novaramedia may be heard again.
This is what arbitrary monopolistic power is: congrats to all those who helped destroy a free internet for this:

Here's a left-wing video producer, known for making 2016 pro-Bernie videos. FB just deleted his video which was *showing & denouncing* hate speech from the organizer of the Netflix walkout. This kept happening to him on YT, which is why he went to Rumble:

Amazing: here's the video from the left-wing video creator @0rf just banned from Facebook on the grounds of "hate speech" when the whole point was to *expose* hate speech from the anti-Chappelle activist. Fortunately, he is on Rumble for it to be seen:
