YouTube has removed a second video on its platform posted by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and has suspended him from uploading content for a week, stating that he violated community guidelines on COVID-19.

“They are now banning all my speech, including speech that is given on the Senate floor,“ the Republican senator told reporters on Aug. 10. ”YouTube now thinks they are smart enough and godly enough that they can oversee speech, even constitutionally protected speech.”
