YouTube drops mask, Mass Demonetizes right wing content

[Napkizemlja]

If we allow a prominent right-winger to be banned, can we ban a prominent left-wing one? A one for one trade, we can slap a fair trade sticker on it.

I vote for Contra Points. All RW's who agree post "Aye".

Aye.

[Scomagia]

I'm saying you can't blame people for violence that they have specifically condemned.

Boy, I'm glad you aren't the one writing up speech laws. No one would be able to say anything for fear of being held liable for "radicalizing".

...Build pathetic strawmen of your opposition...

It isn't a strawman, it's the logical result of what is being proposed by that poster.

[First American Empire]

I am American. I do work in Canada though. (I used to live in Bellingham, but I moved to Blaine during the past week, which is why I haven't been posting for a while.)

Bellingham, WA?

Yeah, I used to live there. I moved to be closer to work because the commute times were awful.

Aye, she's emblematic of having terrible taste in everything.

I thought you were in support of the deplatforming on the basis he spreads fear, if you weren't, then that's my mistake.

No, I was just telling Scomagia why I think Ben Shapiro helps to spread fear of Muslims, but I never said he should be banned. Then again, I just joined this part of the conversation so I'm assuming someone else said so?

Yeah, sorry. We're discussing deplatforming and some kinds of speech not being tolerated.

So censor feminists and ban them too then? They do the same thing.

Or anybody with any ideas, really. Just shut it all down since it could lead to fear, which could lead to radicalization, which could lead to violence.

Ball gags for everyone.

It's a totalitarian movement, yes, even if its adherents haven't cottoned on to that fact yet. Because it seeks to put all interactions and all speech and all ideas subject to its control and so on while making anything outside it unacceptable, until the totality of society is governed by the ideology. Until that is done they will never be satisfied.

HBomber guy gets my vote. He's more often dishonest and more of an irritating little shit.

Right. Like I said some social media corporations want their reputations to be saved so that's why they ban certain groups of people.

Excellent, Ostro's finally ousted himself as a right-winger. (see bolded)

[Napkizemlja]

4 votes for Contra Points, 1 for HBomber Guy. Once the voting is done we can start a change.org petition on whomever the sacrifice is.

A whole bunch more reported random videos being deleted, and this was only people who self reported these things on places like Twitter or other social media so a whole bunch of smaller creators and channels could have gotten the axe without nobody knowing.

tl;dr is the algorithm was kicked into overdrive and as usual YouTube just made the situation so much worse.

[The South Falls]

Youtube demonetized left wingers too.

Varg got digimerked? Fucking lmao.

We're looking for a ban here though.

Depends on the context really. Broadly I identify as left wing.

Are we differentiating between "banned" and "deleting YouTube channels"? Those are different things but I assume it's the latter because I don't think YouTube has kicked very many people off their platform forever.

Algorithms are a necessary evil for large social media sites, and YouTube doesn't seem to have a very efficient corporate bureaucracy.

Banned or had a channel deleted. These mean different things.

When was Hbomberguu dishonest? At times he can be very etrawmanny, but when has he directly been dishonest?

That is legitimately just splitting hairs.

That is being dishonest. ContraPoints at tends to discuss ideas rather than individuals and misrepresent them.
