On the week where March for Life goes to Washington DC, Live Action founder Lila Rose tweeted that Youtube had just removed one of her videos exposing Planned Parenthood.
They said it nudity and sexual content:
YouTube just removed one of our investigative videos exposing Planned Parenthood aiding and abetting the sex trafficking of young girl, saying it violated “Community Guidelines.” Some of the footage they removed here ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://t.co/5nViWBoDgQ

In the 2011 video, Planned Parenthood is coaching a pimp on how to lie when bringing in any girls under 14 to get abortions. Because if he says they are 14, PP is under obligation to report it. But the PP worker says if he would just say 15 or 16, then PP would just play stupid and not question it.
And they banned this for nudity and sexual content? How absurd and cowardly.
These liberal tech companies are really getting out of control with their heavy conservative-banning policies. In 2017 we reported on how Live Action was banned from advertising on Twitter. Now Youtube is taking down their videos for violating nudity and sexual content rules when they clearly don’t. Pretty soon Rose and Live Action are gonna be banned from all social media platforms.
Just wait.
UPDATE:
Live Action just tweeted this…
On this #HumanTraffickingAwarenessMonth, Youtube has chosen to delete our uncut camera footage of this video showing a Planned Parenthood manager aiding a child sex trafficking ring.
Unacceptable, @YouTube pic.twitter.com/a2Y2gztIbo

UPDATE 2: I originally picked up this story from Newsbusters, but I couldn’t find anywhere that Live Action actually said Youtube called the videos hate speech. So I removed that link to the Newsbusters article which had other errors and linked to Live Action’s own piece on it. And I made subsequent corrections.
UPDATE 3: Live Action says Youtube had denied their appeal…
Youtube deleted our undercover video without warning or reason, rejected our appeal and warned us that "addition strikes" may prompt termination of our account. pic.twitter.com/qd9GtFqHxf

The video came out in 2011 and has been fine on Youtube for 8 years. Now all of a sudden it violates their policies? C’mon.
UPDATE 4: The video has been reinstated and Live Action tells Youtube ‘thank you’:
Great news! The video has been reinstated. Thank you, @Google, for correcting this matter. https://t.co/Vo6JvdIlCM
