YouTube’s decision to permanently remove the account of a deceased therapist for what they call “hate speech”—all because of a 1994 debate where he mentioned a book title containing the word “sissy”—is nothing short of censorship masquerading as policy enforcement.
Joseph Nicolosi Jr., taking the reins of his late father’s YouTube channel, is exposing the company’s hypocrisy. He argues that YouTube is cherry-picking which scientific debates are allowed in the public sphere, effectively controlling the narrative around trauma and sexuality. YouTube’s actions are a glaring example of the platform’s eagerness to silence any voice that dares to stray from its aggressively woke agenda.
What’s more alarming is YouTube’s flip-flopping on the matter. After initially reinstating the channel, they turned around and axed it again, citing “severe or repeated violations” of their hate speech policy. This back-and-forth game they’re playing not only confuses but also highlights the arbitrary nature of their censorship. Nicolosi’s father’s work was grounded in decades of clinical psychology and offered a perspective that challenged the mainstream narrative on sexuality and trauma. Because it doesn’t align with YouTube’s agenda, it’s labeled as hate speech and swept under the rug.
This is just another example of Big Tech’s crusade to silence any voice that braves to diverge from their approved dialogue. Google, which owns YouTube, is the most prolific perpetrator of this censorship and woke indoctrination, even having their policies affect not only users but employees themselves. They are controlling the flow of knowledge for millions, reshaping society to fit their narrow, ideologically driven worldview, with no tolerance for debate or diversity of thought.
The irony here is palpable. In their quest to combat “hate,” platforms like YouTube are stifling genuine scientific inquiry and debate. By shutting down accounts like Nicolosi’s, they’re undermining the very principle of free speech and open dialogue. It’s a dangerous path we’re treading, one where dissenting opinions are not just discouraged but systematically erased from the public record. If we’re not careful, the only voices left will be those that echo woke dogma, leaving no room for the complex, nuanced conversations that are vital to understanding human existence.
