YouTube Accused of Suppressing Joe Rogan's Trump Interview with 34M Views Amid Election Interference Claims

Oct 28, 2024, 07:12 PM

Numerous users have reported difficulties in finding the full interview between Joe Rogan and Donald Trump on YouTube. Despite the interview accumulating over 34 million views and 1.7 million upvotes, searches using terms like 'Joe Rogan Trump' or 'Joe Rogan Experience #2219' do not yield the full video. Instead, search results predominantly show clips, commentary, and mainstream media reactions. Users claim that YouTube is deliberately suppressing the video, which they argue constitutes election interference. Some users have noted that other political figures' interviews, such as those with Kamala Harris, are easily accessible in search results. The suppression of the Rogan-Trump interview, described as the most watched podcast in history, has sparked accusations of censorship and bias against YouTube and its parent company, Google. Some users have referred to this suppression as the 'ultimate shadow ban.'
