YouTube removes Jonathan T Gilliam's video and suspends channel: YouTube removed an episode of Jonathan T Gilliam's podcast from his YouTube channel. The video was titled "The EXPERTS podcast E151 S2: 2020 Wasn't The Beginning Of The Fall, It Was The Fall!"

YouTube claimed the video violated the platform's "misinformation policy," according to a purported screenshot shared by Gilliam. It is unclear what triggered the suspension. However, a segment of the episode spoke about Australia's COVID-19 mask and vaccination policies.

In addition to removing the video, YouTube applied a strike to Gilliam's channel. This is the second strike Gilliam has received on his channel. YouTube policy states that a second strike prohibits Gilliam from uploading content to his channel "for 2 weeks."

Gilliam told MRC Free Speech America that he did not receive the channel strikes when the podcast originally aired "but years later just before the last election and this year before the midterm. They are saying if I get one more my page will be permanently taken down. None of the content is threatening or over the top and is relevant to the events at the time."

YouTube did not respond to MRC Free Speech America's request for comment at the time of publication.
