Maybe he was more nuanced, but if his position is that the government must forbid any and all moderation of these platform, "all speech" means "all speech" must be allowed and distributed.

That's a big if.
If that's what he wants, it's not going to happen. The government wants more moderation and less disinformation.
This guy lives in his own world of what these sites are for. I agree that he's better off at Rumble.
Ditto.
If he used that language on his radio show, airing on the public airwaves, he would be fined by the government.
He is using a private business as his own personal public platform, and then complaining when they enforce their rules that he agreed to follow when he signed up. They never promised him "free speech." That's not in their TOS.
These folks are confusing the internet, which is an open platform, and YouTube, which is a private business.

I'm just looking at his tweet. He likes the "s" word a lot. He used it three times. That's one of the 7 deadly words. I doubt his syndicator would let it go out on the air. They pay people to press the "dump" button. But it's also a form of censorship that he lives with every day.
I looked at the rant and Dan Bongino says hes an Investor of Rumble.
Rumble Sends Viewers Tumbling Toward Misinformation
Research shows the emergent video platform can recommend conspiracy theories and other harmful content more often than not.
Where Anti-Vaccine Propaganda Went When YouTube Banned It
Rumble is the favored video platform of conspiracy theorists and the far right. Now medical disinformation has a home there.
slate.com
If you are wondering who Rumble is its a youtube competitor that has been accused of attracting anti-vax politicians, pundits and lobbyists to their venue after Youtube remove them once some states came forward and accuse the TV app for failing to stop disinformation.
Bongino's ban is now permanent, but never fear, he has 3 hours to complain about it on Cumulus radio. https://www.washingtonpost.com/tech...gkCcalJV8vTWkHNKpFcroEBDG7-8mFXD9AKoaPCAOQr_E
In fact here's how he presents it:
So Dan is doing a public service by going against government and big tech propaganda.
Dan instead uses Rumble. Which is his right. There is no law that requires him to appear on YouTube. That site was designed for people who don't have access to commercial video players. He could base his show on his own site or a Cumulus site. He has many options to present misinformation.

It looks like even if Cumulus started a site for Bongino clips, it would be deleted.
On YouTube, yes. But they have the technology to do it on Bongino's Cumulus hosted site. There is no need for YouTube.
More on the Bongino-You Tube story, including a quote from You Tube explaining their policies:
www.insideradio.com
People seem to think posting on YouTube is a right, guaranteed by the constitution. That view is wrong. You Tube is a private business, built on user-created content. If your content doesn't meet their criteria, you get banned. You don't like their business model? You're welcome to take your business elsewhere. Bongino gave them an ultimatum, and they did what was best for their business.
In my view, it's similar to what happened to Neil Young, who gave an ultimatum to Spotify.

If you walk into a store and say you don't like they way they run their store, they have a right to ask you to leave. That's not censorship.
Dan Bongino Said He Was Quitting YouTube. Its Response: You’re Banned For Good.
In a variation of “you can’t fire me, I quit,” YouTube has permanently banned conservative radio host and podcaster Dan Bongino from its platform. The move came a day after

Spotify Picks Joe Rogan, Dumps Neil Young - Radio Ink
Long-time rocker Neil Young doesn't like what Joe Rogan is saying about COVID-19 on his popular Spotify-exclusive podcast so he gave the company an ultimatum; Joe or me. Spotify chose Rogan and will be deleting Young's music from its service.

Totally agree.
I believe there's a fine line between "spreading misinformation" and "expressing an opinion." If readers accept the medical opinions of a talk show host without question, that's on them.
In the early days of the Internet, before social media, it was up to the reader to sort things out and come to their own conclusions. For every wild conspiracy theory there was someone who would counter with a well reasoned reply. Unfortunately that's not the case anymore.
Big Tech has the right to do whatever they want. They decide what's information and what's misinformation. We're the jerks for accepting their decrees, hook line and sinker.
Do Christian bakers have the same rights to do business as they please as Youtube and other Big Tech companies do?More on the Bongino-You Tube story, including a quote from You Tube explaining their policies:

Now Google's AdWords service has stopped all of its advertising that appears on Dan Bongino's website:
www.nbcnews.com
This is separate from the YouTube ban. But somewhat related, in that advertisers have a right to choose their ad location.
I wonder if there are advertisers who don't want their ads to appear in his radio show.

But Bongino is also on Fox News. Fox News will decide which clips from his show will appear on their apps (Fox Nation and Fox News apps). I place a bet Bongino will whine on Tuckers show talking about censorship.
