Of course. It’s owned by Google, one of the big five tech companies.

Ah, that would explain why all those anti establishment conspiracy videos are hosted on the establishment's platform then :mad:

By allowing people to search for anything?
Yes but you will only read what they want you to read about a subject.

For instance if you try and search for Corona virus conspiracy on Google you will only see results for how the conspiracy theorist are loonies or bebunking conspiracy theories.

Like the media, Google/YouTube will only allow you to know what they want you to know and you can't dare question what they say.

I'm no conspiracy theorist but I like to make my own mind up about a subject, not get told what to think.

Ha what was Worlds of Wonder?

Gutted I missed that one, it sounds cracking.

Conspiracy stuff. Atlantis, aliens, Ark of the Covenant, Illuminati, that sort of thing. They avoided Covid but were banned for questioning the American Presidential results, saying it was a scam.

The two presenters were likeable and spoke well. I liked watching their show, but - DISCLAIMER - I don't believe in ghosts or aliens or UFOs or the Bermuda Triangle etc...

In what way? They definitely see Google as part of the globalist enemy. They've seen many of their channels banned on YouTube (Worlds of Wonder, for example). They use YouTube for its reach, but all have back-up channels on Bitchute etc...

It's just a joke based on the classic stereotype of conspiracy theorists getting all their information off videos they saw on youtube. I wouldn't read too much into it...

I don't believe in most conspiracy theories but I've worked and conversed with those who do and I know how they think. They'll see this as fascist elites silencing the truth.

You can imagine how David Icke will report on this and, like it or not, he has a big following. And others will follow suit.

Suppressing free speech is counterproductive.

Ah, fair enough.

You're right of course. It's like communist revolutionaries Tweeting on iPhones from Stabucks. A lot of cognitive disconnect going on.

I quite liked seeing the clips even ones of a certain broadcaster that people on this forum don’t like ..it seems to have been a nice counter balance to the bbc

I'm a bit confused by arguments that this is suppression; there's terms and conditions. Don't like them, don't use the platform - you can't complain if you're punished for breaking the rules...:whistle:

It is probably cause the majority of their presenters are Journos who seem to think they have more medical knowledge than a doctor or a scientist.....

Well, it's worse than that. Rather than journalists, they tend to employ "columnists" who are giving personal opinions under the guise of "news" which it clearly isn't.

I'm not sure David Icke has much time for TalkRadio.

Its a tragedy to see a Murdoch owned channel receive such rough treatment, its been very tough for them in Britain over the past 5 decades

That Mike Graham is my favourite of their nutters

Regularly gets pissed and spends all night on Twitter insulting people who disagree with him.
Vile creature.

All very well if you are grown up enough to see the disinformation and can separate reality from sensationalist conspiracy, sadly there are some who believe any old shite they read as gospel and then relay this to many like minded folk.

I've friends who have sadly been caught up in this twaddle since the first lock down to the extent they send me all sorts of crazy links concerning lizards, shape shifters, Biden election deniers, etc etc etc its sad to see people who were/are good friends slowly being sucked into this rubbish.

These were friends i've known for years who i barely recognise now, sad.
