>In fact, Right Wing Watch’s exposure of Jones’ false and conspiratorial rhetoric was key to YouTube and other social-media platforms eventually removing his channel InfoWars from their sites.
This is a classic example of play stupid games, win stupid prizes. They wanted YouTube to cancel these people, so logically, YouTube has to cancel compilations of these people. It doesn't matter that RWW is criticizing them. Otherwise, people can just post the videos while pretending to criticize them.
>Notably, many of the right-wing outlets and personalities that Right Wing Watch chronicles are not currently suspended or banned from posting content to YouTube
The article frames this as a contradiction when there isn't one. RWW didn't get cancelled for chronicling commentators who didn't get cancelled. They were cancelled for chronicling the cancel-worthy content.
