YouTube has been deleting videos disputing the US government narrative about Russian war crimes in Bucha, Ukraine, validating concerns we've discussed previously that Silicon Valley platforms would begin censoring anyone who challenges the authorized version of events in this war.

"By the way, my video 'Bucha: More Lies' has been deleted [by] YouTube's censors," reads a recent tweet by Gonzalo Lira.

"My stream last night on RBN was censored on Youtube after debunking the Bucha Massacre narrative," Revolutionary Blackout Network reports.

It would seem that this clears up what YouTube meant when it said last month, "Our Community Guidelines prohibit content denying, minimizing or trivializing well-documented violent events. We are now removing content about Russia's invasion in Ukraine that violates this policy."

There has as yet been no investigation into what happened in Bucha by any international body and there are plenty of arguments to be made questioning aspects of the Official Story that westerners are being aggressively force fed by the narrative control machine of the US-centralized empire. Which would mean that YouTube is defining "well-documented" as "unproven assertions by the US government."
