BLACK PIGEON, DON'T SPEAK: YouTube CENSORS Popular Right-Wing Channel
YOUTUBE was under-fire yesterday after censoring the popular channel of a right-wing commentator and video maker, Black Pigeon Speaks.
The popular channel that was launched in 2011 had over 56 million views and over 480,000 subscribers.
It was the latest in a long line of attempts to silence the right by deplatforming and defunding notable right-wing channels which receive huge audiences online.
The channel was notable for anti-Islam content and had many videos challenging the multi-cultural 'takeover' of Britain.
YouTube said: "This channel has been terminated due to multiple or severe violations of YouTube's policy prohibiting Hate Speech."
The ban was met with immediate backlash on Twitter with notable Alt-Media figures backing BPS.
Brittany Pettibone wrote: "Black Pigeon Speaks, who had a YouTube channel with approximately half a million subscribers, has been permanently BANNED by YouTube. " She urged users to follow him on Bichute.

Paul Joseph Watson said:
“When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say.”He also slammed YouTube for its clear censorship and 'cyberbullying.

"The day after Black Pigeon Speaks made a video warning that independent voices were being "silenced - relentlessly, pathologically and ruthlessly" by Silicon Valley, he is banned by YouTube for no reason," added Watson.
YouTube later restored the channel following the backlash, but it's still a clear sign that YouTube is cracking down on anyone who doesn't toe the leftist line.
Black Pigeon Speaks followed up with a thank you for everyone who supported the reinstatement of his channel. Perhaps you would care to re-tweet?

We all saw this coming, and as usual TY can't point to specifics incidents that violate their vague terms of service. I love BPS!
@navyhato he is actually on steem.
I was very disappointed to hear this. I'm glad he's found a new home on BitChute. I did subscribe to him there.
