12:56world youtube decided to terminate its channel in 2017 due to legal issues dan bongino the resume of

13:36doubt on mask effectiveness during the pandemic then in january of 2022 bongino was permanently
13:44banned from the platform after he used a second channel to espouse the same views oh you know
13:50listen man it's part of the game stefan molyneux he's one of the most controversial polarizing and
13:56visible figureheads of the alt-right political movement and he's been banned from a lot of social media
14:01platforms stefan molyneux's content tends to discuss various conspiracy theories and his free domain
14:08website has been linked to the proliferation of racist sexist and islamophobic views in the past
14:15molyneux and free domain have even been labeled as a cult by some including noted mental health
14:21counselor stephen hassan youtube permanently banned molyneux from their platform in january 2020
14:27joining the laundry list of other organizations deciding to do the same including soundcloud paypal

15:00that creator michelle hobson had been mistreating her adopted children the whistle was actually blown
15:06on hobson by her biological daughter who contacted police long after the department of child safety had

15:252019 after being found unfit to stand a trial for her crimes they refuse to give us any records even
15:33after hobson died due to health issues in late 2019 richard b spencer sometimes a creator might attempt
15:40to distance themselves from accusations against their content in the hopes that it might all go away and
15:46they'll be allowed to continue richard spencer for his part goes all in with his hateful rhetoric and
15:52unrepentant racism regardless of whether or not it gets him banned naturally this did occur with
15:58spencer's youtube channel right around the same time the platform eliminated the channels of stefan molyneux
16:05and one-time presidential candidate david duke despite this spencer continued to speak with lectures and
16:12personal appearances but he also faced pushback and protest every step of the way gavin mcinnis if you
16:19weren't aware of gavin mcinnis when he co-founded vice back in 1994 then the january 6th attack on the
16:25united states capitol building almost certainly brought the man's past affiliations back to the public eye
16:31this was due to an organization called the proud boys a group also founded by mcinnis which has been
16:37labeled by its critics as neo-fascist and even designated in canada as a terrorist group mcinnis's
