And the new Pope is ... blocked by YouTube?

May 8,2025. Congratulations in such a happy day! Yet, I’d like to warn about certain problems which might get worse.

Context

Google (owner of YouTube) is known for:

- Having sabotaged Iesvs.org, which sent the daily gospel to half a million users in its GoogleGroups. Iesvs wasn’t even allowed to download the database and host the service elsewhere.

- Delisting prolife paid ads

- Shadow banning prolife and Catholic content

- Boosting satanic content (anti-Pope, anti-Catholic, pro-abortion, etc.)

- Censoring incoming emails in Gmails

- Censoring sent emails from Gmail (without any return warning, even if “return receipt” was marked)

This got much worse in the COVID pandemic, where the scientific papers on 30+ cures for COVID were flagged as misinformation, in spite of being truthful information. Likewise, with any news proving the inefficacy and unsafety of the vaccines.

On May 8, 2025, when searching in the YouTube app for Vatican live, there were no results. Sabotage 1?

So I went to a news site, with YouTube live-streaming in the embedded video: when clicking to watch directly on Youtube phone app, got this message:

“This video is unavailable with Restricted Mode enabled. To view this video, you will need to disable Restricted Mode. Learn more.”

Restricted Mode is a function to block inappropriate content for children. I had turned it on to protect my children and myself, as an adult shouldn't be watching anything that destroys innocence.

Yet, it’s striking that YouTube classifies the Papal assumption as forbidden for those under 18 years old, because of “potentially mature content”:

• Inappropriate language
• Adult content
• Violence
• Harmful or dangerous acts
• Drug-related content
• Hateful content
• Fire-arms related content
• Sensitive issues

Sabotage 2?

So I wrote on the browser EWTN.com and then clicked live. After a few minutes, the image was frozen without audio and wouldn't fix for about 5 minutes. Sabotage 3?

In the meantime I had turned my laptop on and searched for EWTN live in YouTube. It was strange that with 1.22 Million followers, only 320K were watching (after it was over, the viewcount showed 670k. Are they messing with the numbers? Sabotage 4?

It was streaming fine, until just minutes before the Papal Urbi et Orbi bessing, this message would pop up in Spanish: the player will block after 1 video, unless you allow ads from YouTube through your ad blocker.

I had no idea I had a YouTube ad blocker, considering I usually got so many ads from YouTube!

So I tried to unblock following the instructions and the livestream continued for a few seconds, until I got strike 2 and gave up. Sabotage 5?

Providentially, EWTN.com live had resumed by then on my phone and was able to get, on my knees, the Papal Urbi et Orbi blessing for the whole world, and for those watching live, it blesses the religious objects they have and it grants plenary indulgence.

What are the odds of 5 issues, all 5 for the first time, occurring just when I was trying to watch the Papal blessing, and which had never happened to me before?

Whether it was sabotage or not, we need to be aware that, with very few exceptions like Gab.com, Odysee.com, Bitchute.com, Telegram app, Rumble.com, there’s fierce anti-Catholic and anti-prolife censorship:

We have to support with prayers and money, independent platforms like EWTN.com !
