YouTube suspends BlazeTV: BlazeTV, an independent news and streaming site, posted a video of political commentator Lauren Chen. In the video, Chen discusses actor Elliot Page’s memoir and the link between transgenderism and mental health more broadly. YouTube suspended BlazeTV. In a statement to MRC Free Speech America, YouTube spokesperson Jack Malon gave a partial explanation for why YouTube suspended BlazeTV. “We issued a strike to the BlazeTV channel for violating our hate speech policies, which prohibit content that promotes hatred against groups based on attributes such as gender identity,” he claimed. “As a result of this strike, BlazeTV is prohibited from uploading content to YouTube for one week.” It remains unclear exactly which specific section of Chen’s video violated YouTube’s so-called hate speech policy. At the time of publishing, the video does not appear on YouTube but remains in Chen’s Twitter feed.
