Gun rights group accuses YouTube of pushing ‘ominous narrative’ with new policy on firearms content
Fox News
Gun Owners of America says it fears YouTube's new policy that age restricts firearms content will have a "chilling effect on the First and Second Amendments."
Greg Norman is a reporter at Fox News Digital.
Google says on its website that starting next Tuesday, June 18, "certain content showing how to remove safety devices will be prohibited" and "content showing the use of homemade firearms, automatic firearms, and certain firearm accessories will be age restricted."
However, "restricting access to adults only -- for content that depicts constitutionally-protected activity-- is wrong," Gun Owners of America wrote in its letter. "This policy change aims to push an ominous narrative to minors that firearms are evil while allowing Hollywood and the anti-gun corporate media to continue to push false narratives about firearms without restriction."
