Daily Wire podcast host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/author/candace-owens">Candace Owens</a> announced on Sunday that YouTube <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@CandaceOwensPodcast/videos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspended her account</a> because of her commentary about <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender" target="_blank" rel="noopener">transgender</a> issues.
In an <a href="https://www.instagram.com/realcandaceowens/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram video</a>, Owens said YouTube imposed a temporary ban on her channel, and said the lockdown was a result of a review of videos in which she refers to trans-identifying people by their biological sex and showcases people who have expressed remorse over undergoing transgender surgeries. Owens blamed YouTube&#8217;s &#8220;very opaque policies&#8221; for multiple strikes against her account and noted a suspension could last a week or more.
YouTube&#8217;s crackdown is a symptom of the latest &#8220;globally sanctioned lie&#8221; centered on gender ideology, Owens said. Previous cases of narrative-driving falsehoods centered around the Black Lives Matter movement and COVID, but gender ideology is particularly &#8220;insidious&#8221; because it targets children, Owens added.
A post Owens made to Twitter summarized what she talked about on Instagram.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
‼️It’s true, my YouTube account has been suspended and here is what I have to say:
We don’t know exactly what or who is the driving force behind globally-sanctioned lies, but what we do know is that over the past five years, the prevailing lies of the day have shifted… <a href="https://t.co/1TqAyM717O">https://t.co/1TqAyM717O</a>
&mdash; Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) <a href="https://twitter.com/RealCandaceO/status/1668041566995218433?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 11, 2023</a></blockquote>
Refusing to back down, Owens said she believes truth-tellers will be &#8220;vindicated&#8221; in the end. In the meantime, Owens said she will make more announcements this coming week and will continue to post videos from her show to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a>, where the host said Musk appears to be open to allowing &#8220;true speech&#8221; for open debate.
Owens also encouraged supporters to subscribe to her YouTube channel, saying a surge in followers during her suspension would help to &#8220;stick it&#8221; to the platform.
Owens is not alone in being penalized by YouTube, as The Daily Wire has taken a firm line against the radical transgender craze, especially when it comes to minors being subjected to irreversible chemical and even surgical treatments.
Daily Wire co-CEO <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/author/jeremy-boreing">Jeremy Boreing</a> announced Sunday evening that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/finger-on-the-scales-daily-wire-co-ceo-jeremy-boreing-blasts-youtube-for-censoring-the-truth-about-radical-transgender-ideology" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a number of </a>accounts associated with his company have received 104 violations for &#8220;Hateful and Derogatory&#8221; content on Youtube over the past 90 days, mainly directed at commentary about transgender issues.
Beyond Owens&#8217; page, accounts for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/author/matt-walsh">Matt Walsh</a>, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/author/ben-shapiro">Ben Shapiro</a>, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/author/michael-j-knowles">Michael Knowles</a>, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/author/andrew-klavan">Andrew Klavan</a>, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/author/brett-cooper">Brett Cooper</a>, and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/author/jordan-peterson">Jordan Peterson</a> have all received violations, Boreing said. Penalties include Walsh being demonetized last month, Owens and Knowles being suspended for seven days after receiving a &#8220;second strike,&#8221; and Peterson getting his &#8220;first strike.&#8221; Three strikes in 90 days and an account gets deleted, Boreing noted.
The Daily Wire reached out to YouTube seeking comment on the thread. &#8220;We removed content from the Candace Owens, Michael Knowles, and Jordan Peterson channels for violating our hate speech and harassment policies,&#8221; a YouTube spokesperson said in an email. &#8220;Our Community Guidelines apply equally to all creators on our platform.&#8221;
Peterson, a DailyWire+ contributor, said on Saturday that YouTube had removed a video — in which he and author Helen Joyce discuss gender ideology — for allegedly violating the platform’s “hate speech policy.” In a series of tweets, Peterson said, “To say I am tired of being accused in this manner by narcissistic authoritarians is to say almost nothing.” He ended up posting the full video to Twitter <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/experience-the-evil-truth-yourself-jordan-peterson-tweets-full-video-banned-by-youtube-for-hate-speech">at Twitter owner Elon Musk’s behest</a>.
