    I got part way through this video and decided to show it here. It is over censorship at Youtube, property of Google.

    It makes some charges. I need to know if you have noticed it at Youtube?

    I haven't watched the video yet, but I do know there are armies of trolls who keep tabs of YouTube's policies and find ways to break them. For example, they used to automatically take down videos if they got enough complaints, without ever actually reviewing those complaints. So you could get any video removed just by complaining enough. Not sure if they are still doing that.

    YouTube has devolved to PoppyCock bullshit.

    Lars helped with that.

    With 427 meetings held by Google and the Obama White House it's obvious that Google / Youtube are part of the "Resistance" to take down the current President, Donald Trump.

    Thanks for the link. I previously haven't had anything but good experiences with You Tube but maybe it's rapidly changing. There are claims that Google owned You Tube is taking down evidence of Antifa violence. I would not be surprised in the least.

    I've received links to youtube videos from family members and they talk about the Antifa violence within the videos, but some of the videos get taken down before I get to see some of them. Also, on the Hitler parody generator, I once made a parody of Hitler crying about his unionized chef, converted it to video and posted it to youtube, yep, it was taken down.

    YouTube has been accused of demonitizing many Conservative channels lately. It's beginning to become an information monopoly with Google and YouTube, they better be real careful on their censorship and attacks on Conservatism.

    This is very extremely true. I didn't watch the video, but I know that I have been unsubscribed from channels, and everybody on all the channels that give real news have complained about being demonitized. They also slap age restrictions on these channels to reduce viewership, even though no youtube rules have been broken, other than having the "wrong" thoughts.

    This has been going on for a couple months now. I'm surprised it took so long for someone to make a thread about it.

    I have noticed that some creators are having issues with ad revenue or getting their videos monetized. From what I gather, they have the ability to take ads away from content that some may deem to be "Offensive." They created a policy where you can dispute your demonetization within a 40 day period before your account becomes suspended form the ability to make revenue from the video. I have read and herd complaints that despite challenging youtube on demonetized videos, their still being suspended. This treatment is happening to some gamers but mostly to those who make content based around political and philosophical beliefs. I don't think its a conspiracy to get Trump out of office, I do think its a misguided attempt to do any damage control they can and to push a narrative of their choosing.

    Chances are Google/Youtube will go almost unaffected unless they do something a little more blatant. There are sites like Minds.com that are coming out that do offer a new and refreshing take on what Youtube was meant to be. Fusing the video creation of youtube with the update posting of Twitter. Its rare for a alternative company to over shadow the original but its not out of question. I do think that Youtube needs to change its demonetization policy, perhaps stating that the company doesn't reflect the opinions of those who make the videos.

    Youtube has recently made it easier by appointing thought police that can flag a video or channel unilaterally. No need for lots of complaints anymore.

    Leftists are obsessed with controlling the means of indoctrination.

    YouTube is just one small piece of that

    I don't Facebook (have an account to stay in touch with family and to occasionally troll SJW's) but I've heard it's become about as sad the direction You Tube apparently is headed.
