Imagine learning that Vladamir Putin bans everyone in the world from questioning the integrity of any past election. Then realize this isn't Putin's authoritarian decree, but YouTube's.
I don't think it's fair to say that mocking or simply reporting false claims "advances" false claims. But of course, in addition to arbitrarily deciding what's false, YT will arbitrarily decide what "advances" false claims. Super dystopian.
So, I'm a 65 YO man, and I have to share that I've been feeling lately, that there is a new page turning. We've totally played out the partisan spin, and people are showing up in private clubs (stacks) and discussing current topics in a disassembled manner, which allows both left and right components in the same conversation. Both sides are returning to the core tenants; Free speech and Freedom of the Press, and using those as the foundation, we all agree a lot more on the next steps.
I love all you guys, and Glenn, Bari, and Sasha, who's just exploding.
Love is never having to say you're sorry....so this is not love from YT....just an acknowledgment that you attract a good share of followers. Mazel tov
I understand that a youtube of Italy's new prime minister was banned on youtube, but was returned today after complaints. Youtube stated that its banishment was a mistake.

Imagine if you were a self-described conservative that posted this video... There would be zero chance YouTube would have reversed this
YouTube has just demonetized another TK News video: "Trump's Lab Leak "Conspiracy Theory""

This is serious? "TeamYouTube" reverses its unjustified censorship expressing apology with emojis? What a world we live in.

Fuck YouTube and fuck big tech.

Interesting. A little daylight, and things start to smell a little better.
They’re such assholes over there. Pajama wearing, momma’s basement dwellers playing god.
Whenever I see the word Demonetization, I get confused because it looks so close to the word Demonization.
One of the ads I just saw on this newly monetized video was a Democratic fundraiser to "stop Donald Trump"!
Backtracking until someone notices again.
To quote Alistair Moody, “Constant Vigilance!”

"At least they're trying…"
But it really shouldn't take Joe Rogan going to Spotify or Matt 1 and Matt 2 confronting YouTube.
They reversed on the new prime minister of Italy too.
