Judicial Watch announced that YouTube censored a Judicial Watch video about Biden corruption and election integrity issues in the 2020 election. The video titled “Impeach? Biden Corruption Threatens National Security” was falsely determined to be “election misinformation” and removed by YouTube, and Judicial Watch’s YouTube account was suspended for a week. The video featured an interview of Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

YouTube Isn’t a Public Forum, Rules Appeals Court in Conservative Censorship Case.
YouTube may have more than a billion users, but it’s not a public forum run by the government and therefore its decision to moderate content isn’t a violation of the First Amendment, an appellate court has ruled.
“Despite YouTube’s ubiquity and its role as a public-facing platform, it remains a private forum, not a public forum subject to judicial scrutiny under the First Amendment,”
First Amendment claim fails because the free speech clause only prevents government censorship. “YouTube does not perform a public function by inviting public discourse on its property,” writes McKeown. “To characterize YouTube as a public forum would be a paradigm shift.”
Last year, the Court held that ‘merely hosting speech by others is not a traditional, exclusive public function and does not alone transform private entities into state actors subject to First Amendment constraints,” “The internet does not alter this state action requirement of the First Amendment.”
