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
I hate mega-corporations and cancel culture as much as everyone else, but in the world where I live, YouTube is the go-to place for conspiracy nutters to spread bullshit and hateful messages.

Yeah I can see that. 4 years of wild "Russian Conspiracy" theories plastered all over Youtube while Trump was in office. Conspiracy theories of systematic racism without proof (no this isn't referring to a few racist police encounters). Pay gap conspiracies that aren't comparing job positions, tenure, or experience - just a generic apples-to-oranges stat originating from a feminist journal which compares fields.
Crazy stuff all over Youtube. Kind of odd that they don't block all those theories coming from th
With due respect, your response reminds me of something that a politician of today would say. Their rhetoric is reduced to a simple rulebook saying whether things are "with-us" or "against-us". So because the left is traditionally anti-racist, everyone who is anti-racist is a leftist, and if YouTube takes down a video that says it would be nice if black people didn't exist in the country, then this means that YouTube is a left-wing organization silencing right-wing voices.

It's an entirely right-wing matter.
