YouTube is a video sharing platform based in the United States, owned by the pro-imperialist tech giant, Alphabet (previously called Google).

YouTube's censorship has led to video creators seeking out alternatives, such as Rokfin, Rumble, Invidious, and PeerTube.[1][2][3] YouTube automatically censors anti-Zionist content.[4]

CIA connections

YouTube's leading analyst in trust and safety, Michelle Toborowski, worked for the CIA for 12 years.

Bryan Weisbard, who was a CIA intelligence officer from 2006 to 2010, led YouTube teams that examined sensitive content and misinformation. He now works for Facebook.[5]
