YouTube to Remove Thousands of Videos Pushing Extreme Views

[Althalucian]

This is just a pendulum swing and a light one at that. They let alt-righters run amok for years. Pewdiepie was a hardcore alt-right virtual signaler and YouTube dare not deplatform him. Trust me - they'll be back on their alt-right, far right, white supremacy ride again.

I used to be all for companies being lassez-faire about free speech. Discussion will lead to enlightenment. I grew out of that thinking. People are born ignorant and most die ignorant.

Muh free speech. Why minorities always trying to take away my free speech to shyt on them at every opportunity?

You guys want more free (racist) speech in media/entertainment companies? Why are there a billion c00ns on YouTube regurgitating white supremacist viewpoints? Because it sells. It is low hanging lower learning fruit. Free (dumb) speech doesn't always lead to enlightenment. Frequently I see it leading to idiocy and groupthink.

Listening to your favorite influencer or dumbass podcaster isn't going to make you a better thinker. You need to read philosophy, science, math, and literature for that. Real intellectual debate.

I don't want Tom down the hall screaming racist memes to me while I am working in the office so I wouldn't want it on YouTube either but all ya'll want to be called ******s by your coworker in the spirit of free speech? Miss me with that.

You know where unfettered American free speech leads to? 4 c h a n. The shythole of the internet. Thanks but no thanks.

Are you talking about that Crowder dude harassing that Vox dude?

I don't know much about that situation in particular, but whatever happened there "creator on creator harassment" bannings obviously won't be limited to that specifically. Nor cases that mirror that ultimately, I believe.

Edit: Reading up on this Crowder vs. Vox thing. Apparently Crowder made reference to the gay Vox writer's homosexuality. Then Crowder fans doxxed the writer and started harassing him. Is that the gist of it?

I definitely think harassment is and should be a crime. So there's that. I don't put that on Crowder unless he ordered it though.

That's my "welp, here we go" face.

I recognize YouTube's right to censor as they see fit, but I don't like it. I'm cool with YT banning pornography, snuff, etc. But conspiracy theories, controversial political vids (like separatist movements), and roasting people...I'm here for it. This is the internet. Hopefully some other video site pops up since YT has turned into Disney. Or something worse.

there are already many other video sites for bullshyt like that. YT is right not to promote ridiculous theories and ideologies irresponsibly

I'll watch this later...hopefully he breaks down the new rules

YouTube has a right to decide what type of content they want (or don't want) to host.

It's a free market. If there's enough demand (and lets be honest, there probably is) I'm sure somebody will create HateTube or something to get that alt-right money.

Pewdiepie

I have never watched a PewDiePie video and I'm actually really proud of this fact.

No one was ever called a niqqer or racists groups never existed before YouTube or something? I don't even know who Pewdiepie is. The bad things are easy to avoid. It's all good until they ban you or someone you really like.

Which is, unsurprisingly, why the right is determined to get the humanities out of academia.

An actually educated underclass is a terrifying thing. It's what lead to the riots in the 60's and 70's.

Congress, Federal Trade Commission, and Department of Justice are conducting antitrust investigation on Facebook, Google/Youtube, Amazon, and Apple for their "anti-competitive behavior"(), since they are near monopolies.
