NEW: Youtube CEO Susan Wojcicki has won the Freedom Forum Institute's 'Free Expression Award' for being a "free speech leader"
— Breaking911 (@Breaking911) April 27, 2021
And this is the chaser:
The ceremony was sponsored by Youtube

Is there any award sweeter than one you give to yourself?
YouTube has overseen ongoing censorship of conservatives… Yet the CEO won a free speech award at an event… which was sponsored by YouTube. https://t.co/ksHJUH19DB

Believe it or not, YouTube accepted an award for freedom of expression after a year of unprecedented censorship of conservatives.
It might have helped that YouTube sponsored the event. https://t.co/3XCFdAgnUC

The irony is thick, and over the last few days it’s been noticed by many:
YouTube gives “Free Expression Award” to YouTube CEO, handed her to her by Youtuber.
Actual YouTube viewers less than impressed. pic.twitter.com/yuSfIKLEkL

It’s like Planned Parrenthood getting an award for celebrating life, Joseph Stalin getting an award for freedom, and Mao Zedong getting an award for economics. https://t.co/oxiN4Eg81L

The show was sponsored by YouTube. You can’t make this stuff up. I have 130,000 subs there and they don’t get alerts when I upload videos. You’re not even allowed to talk about our last election unless you sound like a North Korean propaganda outlet. Some "free speech" leader. https://t.co/JdkYonRR1a

YouTube heavily censors content that deviates from their company politics.

That's like Karl Marx winning the 'capitalist of the year' award

This is like Xi Jinping receiving the Dearest Leader Award sponsored by the CCP.
