Larry Sanger Announces YouTube Boycott

YouTube Voluntarily Left AltTech Growth US Election 2020

Larry Sanger, co-founder of Wikipedia, announced that he would be boycotting YouTube and taking his content over to BitChute. This happened shortly after the announcement that YouTube would be removing any content critical of the 2020 election:

1/ YouTube is now blocking any objection to Democratic assertions that Biden has won the election. I am not kidding.
