‘No warning, no strikes, no evidence’: Ron Paul Institute’s YouTube channel deleted

Former US Congressman Ron Paul has revealed that YouTube has deleted, without explanation, the main channel of his Texas-based institute. The move comes amid a mass censorship spree by the Google-owned video platform.

“Very shocked that YouTube has completely removed the channel of my Ron Paul Institute: no warning, no strikes, no evidence,” the retired Texas congressman tweeted on Thursday. “Only explanation was ‘severe or repeated violations of our community guidelines.’ Channel is rarely used. The appeal was automatically rejected. Help?”

In a follow-up message, Paul said the Ron Paul Liberty Report channel remains available. The institute’s main channel is “a seldom-used account and its termination is perplexing,” he added.
