My Super Dangerous Content was Removed from YouTube
watch it...if you dare!
I woke up this morning to a love letter from YouTube, which reads in relevant part:
I have appealed, and have asked, should they decide not to reinstate my content, to let me know what, exactly, violated their policy against “medical misinformation that contradicts local health authorities’ or the World Health Organization’s (WHO) medical information about COVID-19.” I’ll let you know what I learn.
Regardless, the fact that their explicitly stated policy is to use government proclamations as a standard for what content is permitted on their platform, shows that they are serving as willing lackeys of government, and are therefore censoring, in the strict sense. Given the delay between broadcast and removal, I believe this was more likely due to a report by a disgruntled viewer (or non-viewer heckler), rather than even their easily counfoundable AI. So let’s hope YouTube gets this right!
In the meantime, if you want to check out the super dangerous content and decide for yourself whether it should be permitted on the Internet, you can check it out on Rumble here:
It is easy to feel like Sisyphus fighting for free speech and open discussion in the current environment but keep pushing that boulder anyway. After a year of one-sided mainstream propaganda about the Ukraine conflict, I actually found an intelligent debate last night (on YouTube, I must concede) about the pros and cons of more aid to Ukraine. So there is still hope for rational discussion in this crazy world.
Yep, saw the notice about the YouTbe censors of your show this am on Twitter. We got to watch your show the other evening. Thanks for all your work and continued efforts for free speech.
