Are we really any worse off for not having instructional videos on how to slap the gay out of your kids? All expression isn't equal. They don't let you post child porn either. These things both cause about the same amount of damage.
Kids come out of the anti-gay and anti-sex camps fucked up. That dude in Georgia who sprayed 3 spas' worth of prostitutes with bullets, recently completed a stint at one of those self-hate camps. Most likely at the insistence of his father, who is preacher. (They want you to thin
LIAR, LIAR pants on fire. This is not about Youtube censoring criminal content. This is about Youtube censoring content that is anti-establishment no matter how truthful, it is about Youtube censoring content that threatens the profits of their major advertisers, it is Youtube censoring content that goes against the insane egos of the executives as they crave greater power and profit and it is about censoring content to distort and corrupt democracy.
It is about the most slimey from of comment censorship. T
As a former engineer at a google datacenter in Iowa, I deeply regret working for that company. I thought it was awesome at the time (2012), but now I am extremely ashamed I supported a company like that. Just like I've turned down engineer jobs at FaceBook, LinkedIn, etc... Very few projects I take today, either in Multimedia production (videographer/editor/directly), or even IT (which I service my local area as the only one that does in my immediate 5 miles, and am very well loved and keep my prices low, lower than anyone 10+ miles away), I only work with companies I believe in.
And for reference, I'm anti-trump, but I wont turn away someone with a massive trump 2020 sign across their yard. They are a human like me, and while it clashes with my beliefs, I'm not going to deny help for a human. I treat them exactly as I want to be treated, and they treat me fine as well. But still, unlike a major company, I'm not going to ask someone to censor themselves either.
I'm not a person who get's all butt-hurt at a comment I don't like. I'm not going to demand they apologize. I just agree in my head they are bigoted and idiotic, but like me, they deserve their opinion just as much as I have opinions myself that some people may find offensive. But still, I'll treat people humanely as possible, and unless they are doing personal attacks against me to my face, or my family, I'm not going to ban them from my business. However, when I spend my money, I will carefully weigh who I choose to get said money, which means, I won't choose an organization that has backed a political party that tries to rig elections. For god's sake, USA can't claim they are any better than Myanmar at the political level right now, and Myanmar situation pisses me off, as I see it also happening here. We have no moral majority here in this country (Need I talk about Nukes we set off on innocent lives which were a higher magnitude worse than what we still do in the middle-east but with bullets). And for the record, I'm a white male, 36 in Nebraska, so not everyone here is a yokel with a penchant for guns and white supremacy (which I have none, and I've disowned my southern family due to their racism, including my father). So yeah. That's where I'm coming from.
