Self-described 'politically and religiously independent' Swedish digital news channel removed from YouTube: Swedish Web Television, otherwise known as SwebbTV, has been permanently removed from YouTube, according to Reclaim The Net. SwebbTV had 64,000 subscribers at the time of its deletion. The channel reportedly "believes in 'a free and open debate in which different opinions can be expressed' and has criticized the 'established media houses' in Sweden for 'doing a bad job' and 'abusing their position' because they fail to provide 'a complete, correct and fact-based picture in important issues that are crucial for development in Sweden and for individual residents,” reported Reclaim The Net. "Today, it is quite clear that [Google’s] purpose is to guide the discussion in society and to ban information that questions their agenda," SwebbTV wrote on its website. "Today it is, among other things, about the pandemic, the climate alarms and mass migration.” The article went on to add that SwebbTV's appeal to return to YouTube had been quickly rejected.
