YouTube deletes US election fraud documentary after thousands watch it

Several video platforms on Friday deleted a two-hour documentary titled “Absolute Truth” released by MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell that pushed election conspiracy theories. However, thousands of viewers had already watched it, reported IB Times.

After both YouTube and Vimeo removed the video, Lindell turned to Rumble, an alternative platform popular with far-right content producers. 

In the introduction, Lindell said, “I have been attacked the last month relentlessly on social media, by newspapers, by TV shows, by—you name it, I’ve been attacked. They canceled my Twitter; today they canceled MyPillow’s Twitter account.”

Twitter users have slammed the documentary’s contents and production quality.

A statement by One America Network, which gave a spot to Lindell, said, “Mr. Lindell is the sole author and executive producer of this program and is solely and exclusively responsible for its content. This program is not the product of OAN’s reporting.”

Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic have both filed lawsuits against platforms that have distributed  allegations of fraud. Dominion has ordered YouTube to preserve files related to a number of persons of interest, including Lindell.
