YouTube has removed the official channel of House Freedom Action (HFA), the super PAC aligned with the House Freedom Caucus. The decision, made without prior notice, has reignited accusations of Big Tech silencing conservative voices.

Visitors to the HFA channel are now greeted with an error message stating the page is unavailable. YouTube explained the removal as a violation of its policies against “Spam, deceptive practices and scams.” The platform claimed the action was necessary “to protect our community.”

The channel was a central hub for HFA’s video ads, many of which had targeted left-wing candidates during the fall elections. YouTube’s decision offers the organization an opportunity to appeal, but HFA officials have voiced frustration with the platform’s lack of transparency.

Allison Weisenberger, political director of HFA, blasted the move, suggesting political interference played a role. “This isn’t the first time Marc Elias and the Democrat slime machine have tried muzzling House Freedom Action,” Weisenberger said, referencing past attempts to remove HFA ads from TV and radio. “Every single word in our ads is true. The truth hurts, and now YouTube has caved.”

Weisenberger also pointed out that YouTube was willing to accept HFA’s advertising dollars during the elections, accusing the platform of bowing to external pressure to suppress effective conservative messaging.

YouTube, owned by Google, has frequently faced criticism from conservatives for perceived bias. With its dominance as the second most-visited website globally, many fear its actions disproportionately impact political discourse. The HFA ban has reignited calls for regulation and the promotion of alternative platforms that prioritize free expression.
