Jordan Peterson is the latest victim of the very leftist Big Tech.
He’s been accused of ‘hate speech’ and ‘inciting violence’ by YouTube and they’ve removed a podcast video of his entitled: “Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality”:
I have now officially been accused of hate speech by YouTube, Let's be clear about this: that is a direct accusation conduct deemed criminal in many jurisdictions. This is absolutely not OK, @YouTube. Not OK. pic.twitter.com/SlABDg7Zqu

I am also accused as you can all see of "inciting violence." To say I am tired of being accused in this manner by narcissistic authoritarians is to say almost nothing.

This societal trend could easily end badly. Such accusers are doing nothing but attempting to accrue reputation, at least in their own eyes, without doing any of the valid work that such reputation genuinely requires.

It's a violation of the ancient dictum "do not use the Lord's name in vain": translation: do not claim moral motivations when acting for narrowly self-serving purposes. That, along with pride, is the cardinal sin of our time.

Elon Musk quickly responded to Peterson, offering Twitter as a substitute for YouTube:
Upload here. This platform believes in free speech, provided it does not break the law.

I found the podcast YouTube censored on Rumble as Peterson also uploads there. If you are interested you can watch it below. I’m sure it’s very interesting and might make a good Saturday Afternoon Matinee:
