RFK Jr. Loses Appeal to Restore Vaccine Misinformation Videos, 9th Circuit Rules

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. lost his appeal in a federal court to compel YouTube to restore two videos that were removed for allegedly containing vaccine misinformation. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Monday that Kennedy failed to demonstrate that YouTube acted as a 'state actor' in removing the videos. The court upheld a previous decision that YouTube did not collaborate with the government or infringe upon Kennedy's free speech rights. The ruling was unanimous, with the court stating that Kennedy could not rebut Google's claim that it exercised independent editorial discretion in removing the content.
