The Christian Post reports:
Conservative Christian commentator and bestselling author Eric Metaxas’ radio show was terminated from YouTube this week after receiving multiple strikes for violating the video platform’s guidelines due to videos on vaccine passports and the 2020 election.
A YouTube spokesperson told The Christian Post the show’s channel was terminated under the “longstanding three strikes system.” “Specifically, we removed content that violated our policies on COVID-19 medical misinformation and presidential election integrity,” a YouTube spokesperson said in the email.
From Metaxas’s Facebook page:
In regards to YouTube terminating my radio show channel, it’s been clear to us for some time that they wanted to wipe us out. So although we have done our very best to comply with their creepy Marxist “community standards” they nonetheless seem to have been digging into some of our older videos to find things they could use against us.
As their uncredited hero Stalin infamously said, “Show me the man and I will find you the crime.” The loss to us financially is devastating, but when you are speaking truth at a time such as this you cannot be daunted by such things. None of my heroes ever were and by God’s grace I never will be.
We trust that what we are doing is right and we will not be silenced. In fact this grotesque attack on free speech emboldens us dramatically in calling out Maoist and Soviet-style tactics for what they are, an expression of deepest fear that the truth can never be silenced. Because it cannot.
Metaxas appeared on JMG in December when he called on Trump supporters to “fight to death for Trump, to the last drop of blood.” In late March he tweeted, “Don’t get the vaccine. Pass it on.” That tweet has since been deleted, but his Twitter account remains active.
