    The social media platform YouTube is engaging in the duplicitous practice of scrubbing dislikes from Biden videos to protect the president’s political image, new data reveals.

    The data, obtained by the Epoch Times, shows that YouTube has deleted an astounding 2.5 million dislikes from Biden’s videos.

    This is no surprise. The big tech social media is nothing more than a propaganda arm of the Biden regime. It’s so typical of them. They try to hide that as many people dislike Biden and his policies .

    There is no excuse for this manipulation of the data. Big tech social media is nothing more than a tool of the DNC just like the mainstream news media.

    The Epoch times has been caught in quite a few made up stories itself. Do they list how they obtained said data or do you have another less partisan source?

    Last I checked YouTube data including “likes” and “dislikes” is proprietary.

    What made up stories? The CCP has accused them of such because of their opposition to the CCP and chairman Winnie the Pooh Zi.

    Opposition?

    You do know that is it closely controlled by the Chinese Falun Gong NRM? Yes?

    Most of their articles are outright propaganda and conspiracy with no linked sources.

    Can you answer the question, how did they get this data? I am not outright dismissing it, I just want to see if it is even remotely credible.

    Amid the online freakout, some commenters suggested that President Joe Biden might be happy to see dislikes disappear from YouTube. Since Biden took office in January, every single video posted by the White House has gotten more dislikes than likes. Oftentimes, videos of Biden speaking earn more than ten times as many thumbs down as thumbs up.

    “Official White House YouTube team gonna be overjoyed at this,” right-wing pundit Paul Joseph Watson tweeted.

    I do know. I also know how severely they are persecuted in China by the CCP.

    Biden hasn’t really expressed much interest in “likes” or crowd size. That was the previous “president”.

    So wait, Biden, who is giving people money, is more popular than the Republicans, who are not.

    And THAT is your big-time proof that YouTube is scrubbing posts?

    Seriously??

    Can likes and dislikes on YouTube be manipulated by foreign powers to project a false reality?

    Anybody who doesn't like it is always free to invent their OWN version of YouTube.

    Then, they are free to give Biden all of the dislikes that they want (and not worry about anything being "scrubbed")
    ^Problem solved. :salute:

    You mean like Rumble, MeWe, Gab, Parler, CloutHub, USA.Life, Duck Duck Go,Good Gopher? The soon to be new Trump social media platform? We have those alternatives and are now building them independent of big tech manipulation

    We have policies and systems in place to ensure that the engagement on YouTube is authentic, and remove any fraudulent metrics,” a YouTube spokesperson told The Epoch Times

    Probably Russian troll farms again.

    So?

    I wish you luck. Perhaps you will go to all those places and stop annoying people who like a pol who puts his efforts into things that benefits them instead of himself and his cronies

    but “wouldn’t go into details on what criteria it uses to make these calls.”

    No...not Russian troll farms. Big tech manipulation and propaganda.

    NEITHER of your sources has any credibility!

    https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-epoch-times/

    https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/trending-politics/

    Youtube is PRIVATELY owned and operated and has a RESPONSIBILITY to protect the INTEGRITY of what is on their website.

    If they have made a determination that those "Dislikes" were GENERATED by BOTS rather than actual INDIVIDUALS then removing them makes sense.

    I have little doubt that they are using the SAME measures on the videos of YOUR biggest *LOSER*.

    Lol...well, there you go again posting lying propaganda from a chicom media source. Why are you helping to spread Chinese disinformation?

    We know that the trump cult spends all day disliking every pronouncement from the Biden administration and then they whine that they were robbed of their votes.
    It’s a tired refrain from a pack of losers trying to prop up their malignant narcissist loser.
    Living for Twitter likes is all that matters to the cult and the Chinese are using the American far right as useful idiots to spread their lies.

    They don’t need troll farms in Russia when they can use American right wingers to do their work for them.

    If a video only has 100,000 actual Views but it is Disliked a million times that is a pretty good indication that there is something amiss.

    Really? "Independent"?

    Some of those big "alternatives" are managed by billion dollars and foreign powers of their own.

    Please don't include duckduckgo in your list, they're good people.
    I bet T****'s page will be as free and open as Ann Coulter's that mistress of honest truth.

    I never managed to get a post in there no matter how accurate and true. Do you think T****'s mods will wear special uniforms? Maybe with Indian sauwastika symbols on them for divine guidance?

    No link to the data even though it's posted online? Anonymous researcher = 30 year old man who lives in mommy's basement perusing QAnon forums
