A federal judge on Wednesday rejected a request from Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to temporarily bar Google from removing videos of him from YouTube based on its medical misinformation policies.

U.S. District Judge Trina Thompson found that Kennedy’s case against Google and its subsidiary YouTube is unlikely to succeed because the companies are not state actors and, as a result, can’t be held responsible for abridging his speech.

    He’s playing to his anti-vax supporters/republican base. He knows google will censor him now he can yell about being censored and that what he is saying must be true because they’re so worried about him saying it. It’s all part of a cover up! rubes are a dime a dozen unfortunately
