YouTube deplatforms The Iconoclast:
As the wave of social media censorship continues, another big name–or
scalp–has been claimed by Big Tech. It was announced on Facebook that prominent
British YouTuber, The Iconoclast, who amassed a large following of over 200,000
on the platform, recently had his entire channel deleted. The Iconoclast
produced dozens of high quality videos covering sociopolitical currents in
Europe, with some attracting hundreds of thousands of views.
The Iconoclast was one of many creators on the so-called ‘Dissident’ Right to have been demonetized amid a wave of censorship after updating their Terms of Service, in June this year.

It's
interesting to see that the Big Tech companies appear to feel considerably more
confident deplatforming people in the USA and in the UK. I suspect this has
something to do with the differences in the various legal codes. Regardless, if you are not
willing to take them on in court or arbitration, as per the terms of use
specified, you should assume that you will eventually be taken down.
And, as always, build your own platforms. On that note, UATV continues to grow explosively, both in terms of subscribers and viewers. In fact, it's up 152 percent this month in terms of the latter. And we expect to debut SocialGalactic 2.0 in October.
