==YouTube clash with FvD==
In 2020, the Dutch extreme-right political party 'Forum voor Democratie'(FvD) posted a video on their YouTube channel about a debat on Europe during the debate on the European Summit, that took place on September 23,2020. During the debate Pieter Omtizgt was interrupted by FvD leader Thierry Baudet 
Baudet asked a question to Omtzigt but the answer that he gave back was edited out. Instead FvD used a clip from Omtzigt from the same debate, but his answer on a whole different question asked to him by another politcian. So it looked like he didn't answer Baudet's question and tried to talk about something completly different. 
Omtzigt uploaded the whole clip of the debate on his channel to expose the FvD leader. This caused a backlash to Baudet who tried to defended it by stating that he didn't want to show Omtzigt's anwer because it was uninteresting.
