Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul announced he would quit YouTube on Monday. YouTube has previously removed videos from the senator because the platform said they contained misinformation.

However, in reality, it was only deemed such because the administrators at YouTube disagreed with what Paul was saying. Because of this censorship, Paul has decided to leave the platform “unless it is to criticize the platform or announce that viewers can see his content on Rumble.com.” This is an admirable step by Paul, and other politicians should follow suit.
