Joe Rogan Accuses YouTube of Censorship

Joe Rogan has accused YouTube of intentionally making his interview with former President Donald Trump difficult to find, claiming that searches for the video initially yielded only clips instead of the full episode. Despite the interview garnering over 41.5 million views, Rogan expressed frustration that it was not featured on YouTube's trending page, suggesting this suppression was not accidental. He stated that after reaching out multiple times, YouTube addressed the issue, but he remained skeptical about the platform's intentions, calling it 'too convenient' to be a mistake. House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan has also raised concerns about potential censorship and requested clarification from YouTube’s parent company, Alphabet. YouTube acknowledged that the full interview did not appear prominently in search results but claimed they were working to resolve the issue. This controversy has sparked broader discussions about the influence of tech companies on political content and free speech.
