Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Files Lawsuit Against Google and YouTube for Alleged Free Speech Violations
Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is taking legal action against Google and YouTube, accusing them of infringing on his right to free speech. The lawsuit, filed on Wednesday, claims that Kennedy was the first person censored by President Joe Biden and warns of continued suppression as the primary elections draw near.
In the complaint, Kennedy argues that YouTube, as a “digital town square” connected to the government, is prohibited from censoring his speeches and interviews on the platform. He asserts that the United States government, under Biden’s leadership, has taken extraordinary measures to silence voices it does not want Americans to hear.
The lawsuit highlights YouTube’s repeated censorship of Kennedy’s videos based on its “vaccine misinformation” policies. Kennedy, who founded the anti-vaccine charity Children’s Health Defense, has been vocal in his opposition to certain vaccines, including those for COVID-19. The complaint points out that YouTube’s policies rely on government officials to determine what information should be censored, effectively allowing the government to dictate the platform’s content moderation.
While other social media companies have eased their suppression of Kennedy since he announced his candidacy, YouTube continues to remove his content, according to the lawsuit. This censorship campaign not only hinders Kennedy’s ability to reach millions of voters but also makes it more challenging for his supporters to amplify his message through public channels.
