I found out yesterday that Carl Benjamin (aka youtuber Sargon of Akkad and here and here) got "de-platformed" at Patreon, which means that he just got booted off for no good reason. Patreon is a crowdfunding site which supports internet "creators" of content. Benjamin's content is political. He is a "classical liberal" in the John Stuart Mill sense. Benjamin's youtube channels have not been removed—yet—but he has effectively been de-monetized, which is the more subtle strategy for suppressing free speech.
