Praise the Gods of Leftism!
If you weren’t sure how you were going to get through the day without Right Wing Watch’s YouTube channel, you no longer have to worry about it. Because after Right Wing Watch got suspended from YouTube for posting content that was meant to get conservatives deplatformed, YouTube has reversed their initial decision:
Update: YouTube has re-instated Right Wing Watch’s channel after left-wing journalists reported about the permanent ban.

That didn’t take very long at all, did it?
Two days and RRW will be back up on youtube. Save this tweet.

I guess I should have said 2 hours.

It’s OK, Chef. We all make mistakes. This time we just underestimated YouTube’s hypocritical wussitude. Not by much, but still.

The name through them off, they thought it was right-wing, so they banned it, but we’re quick to reinstate their friends.

Don’t be surprised if that’s actually what happened.
No double standard here. https://t.co/3iFYFV90uq

Not at all. YouTube’s rules are solid across the board. Unless you’re special like Right Wing Watch, in which case you’re as good as golden.
It’s cute when YouTube pretends to have standards that aren’t the double kind.
Honestly, there are channels on YouTube that post much worse liberal and leftist content than Right Wing Watch and get away with it. And it’s YouTube’s prerogative to let them get away with it. But we don’t buy for a second that they actually give a damn about preserving the integrity of their platform.
