Gender discussion between Candace Owens and Michael Knowles deleted from YouTube for 'Hate Speech': An episode of conservative nonprofit PragerU's "The Candace Owens Show" was deleted from YouTube for violating the platform's policy around hate speech. The episode involved a discussion between right-wing pundits Candace Owens and Michael Knowles about gender, sexuality and the use of gender pronouns. "YouTube removed an entire episode of the Candace Owens show because we said that men are not women, and women are not men," Owens tweeted. "I honestly cannot even believe how absolutely batshit woke you have to be to believe basic truth to be 'hate speech'."
