And this is why you don't let billionaires own platforms.
YouTube just terminated PlainSite's YouTube channel, which posted certain Epstein Files video directly as provided by the government, because doing so purportedly violated YouTube's "spam, deceptive practices and scams" policy.
For real. Providing the Epstein Files is a "scam" according to Google.
