YouTube censored the livestreams of a number of independent law groups who were streaming the [[Kyle Rittenhouse]] trial, briefly suspending their videos after Judge Bruce Schroeder dropped the charge of illegal possession of a firearm.  YouTube suspended at least four different channels for a 20-minute period over what the company called 'policy violations' for using copyrighted audio – despite trial footage being in the [[public domain]].

Rekieta Law, Law and Crime, Odysee and The Amazing Lucas had their streams suspended. Fake news channels such as CBS and PBS appeared to have no issues with their streams of the trial.  In a livestream featuring eight lawyers, Nick Rekieta said, ‘I got a warning that says, heads up, we’ve detected copyrighted audio in your stream, your stream might be temporarily blocked.’

Reketia Law tweeted once the issue was resolved and their stream was back up, ‘We're BACK UP. @TeamYouTube dropped us by FORTY THOUSAND viewers over a BS copyright claim because they are literally paid for by the Media … THERE IS NO COPYRIGHT ISSUE HERE, Youtube is just shutting down independent creators.’  Shortly after, Rekieta shared another tweet which read, ‘Today, @TeamYouTube is pushing down independent creators in favor of BOGUS copyright from Media Partners YT consistently shows that creators who actually build their platform are disfavored to media.
