How do you know he's not?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he is or he isn't - my concern is that I don't see a way to prove or disprove either position.

Meanwhile, the entire firearms community is having trouble being demonetized, suppressed, and outright banned from YouTube - a Google product, obviously - for content that is legal and in most cases quite uncontroversial.

With no way of knowing for sure if Google is manipulating News rankings and firm evidence that they are using their power to harass and deplatform based on politically-charged issues elsewhere, why would you trust that they're not?
