JUST IN: YouTube's reasoning for permanently banning the Swan Bitcoin channel with 54,000 subscribers:
“We reviewed your channel carefully, and have confirmed that it violates our Community Guidelines. It’s our job to make sure the YouTube is a safe place for all. We won’t be putting your channel back up on Youtube.”
Swan is moving all video content to Twitter in response.
Statement:
On Tuesday next week my husband Julian Assange will make a renewed application for appeal to the High Court. The matter will then proceed to a public hearing before two new judges at the High Court and we remain optimistic that we will prevail and that Julian will not be extradited to the United States where he faces charges that could result in him spending the rest of his life in a maximum security prison for publishing true information that revealed war crimes committed by the U.S. government.
Chelsea Manning was released from prison 3 years ago today. Her release by the Obama administration exemplified the type of democratic leadership we need to maintain journalistic freedom. @POTUS must exemplify that same leadership and #FreeAssangeNow.
@RealRossU Ross is so worthy of a #SecondChance! He doesn't deserve to spend decades in prison. #FreeRoss

WE DID IT!
I told Julian today was EPIC.
On behalf of Julian and our family THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts to each of you.
It took 5,000 people to complete the chain. We did that and more. Likely 10-12,000 people.
Post your pics from today below! #FreeAssangeNOW
"The potential extradition and prosecution of Mr. Assange raises concerns relating to media freedom and a possible chilling effect on investigative journalism and on the activities of whistle-blowers."—@UNHumanRights Chief @mbachelet#FreeAssangeNOW#DropTheCharges
People aren't grasping the significance of the fact that Silicon Valley is now shutting down content creators not because they allegedly harm the public good but because they disagree with the US government about a war. Ukraine censorship is a wildly unprecedented escalation.
John and Gabriel I wish I could be in Dalston with you on the 15th, but I’m in Montreal that night.
Here’s a few seconds from last night’s show in Toronto.
