Exactly. Same as in Nazi Germany.
Liberals are fascists
Someone should be loading up Trump & Cruz with this information. I am sure they will get it to the public at some point. Wouldn’t be suprized if Trump didn’t bring on Atkinson as a consultant.
You’re right. I forgot about the odd spelling of her name.
From what I understand, she was only reposting news stories from her Full Measure News website.
I’ll have to watch that Jihad Central video. It must have struck a nerve.
Community Guidelines? I guess ISIS execution films are ok.
Yeah, interesting, as she posts this link:
Sharyl Attkisson â€@SharylAttkisson 13h13 hours ago
Watch the 1st @FullMeasureNews video @YouTube suspended before banning our entire channel: http://fullmeasure.news/news/measure-up/altered-images … #CensoredNews
To this:

Would be great if FR could sustain an upfront link to her site, other conservative sites could be encouraged to do the same, and we could all bookmark it directly ourselves to prod us to check out her work more often.
I will never buy anything from any YouTube advertiser after this.
It’s censorship if the government forces it.
CONTACT “The Blaze”
I know Glenn has been a nutcase about Trump- but The Blaze is still an important new news outlet for people exactly like Atkisson
The Blaze should also hire and dedicate a whole department to Project Veritas and bring them in.
No, it may be done by government, but all that is required is an authority that can control the output, be it Google, Time/Warner, Cox, Salem, ABCCBSNBCCNN. etc.
From what I read here at FR, Germany has pressured Facebook, Google, and Twitter to pull anything defined “hate speech” under German law, which is quite protective of Islam. Apparently even quoting from the Koran, unless in a positive or laudatory manner, can be “hate speech” in Germany. So yes, these are private entities and can do what they like, just like Amazon pulled all Confederate flag merchandise, but they’re working hand-in-hand with leftist governments, and in this case not even just our own, but Germany’s. This is why the Uniparty supports globalism, big business supports globalism-it is not only very enriching, to them, but if puts all the reins of power in their hands, as they work together., and one hand washes the other, to the benefit of both.
I was speaking to the illegality of the government engaging in censorship (directly)
Wouldn’t half be just about right?
I don’t want an echo chamber and “Fair and Balanced” should mean just that.
Google is the most evil corporation in World History.
Google is a coruporation.
Yep. They used to have a motto of “Do No Evil”. I am pretty sure it has morphed into “Do More Evil”, since news of their collaboration with the NSA came out.
You are exactly correct. If enough people complain on YouTube, they will suspend you or shut you down. Usually it is for nudity, profanity, or copy written material being used illegally. Sometimes, it is a bunch if ninnies who have nothing better to do than create a bunch of user accounts and flood them with negative flags as is probably this case.
Illegality of censorship? It is not illegal per. se.
“Censorship by definition can only be done by government.”
Do you have a source for that?
On my part, from Webster:
CENSOR, noun
1. An officer, in ancient Rome, whose business was to register the effects of the citizens, to impose taxes according to the property which each man possessed, and to inspect the manners of the citizens, with power to censure vice and immorality, by inflicting a public mark of ignominy on the offender.
2. One who is empowered to examine all manuscripts and books, before they are committed to the press, and to see that they contain nothing heretical or immoral.
3. One who is given to censure.
CENSURE, noun
1. The act of blaming or finding fault and condemning as wrong; applicable to the moral conduct, or to the works of men. When applied to persons, it is nearly equivalent to blame, reproof, reprehension, reprimand. It is an expression of disapprobation, which often implies reproof.
2. Judicial sentence; judgment that condemns. An ecclesiastical censure is a sentence of condemnation, or penalty inflicted on a member of a church for mal-conduct, by which he is deprived of the communion of the church, or prohibited from executing the sacerdotal office.
CENSURE, verb transitive
1. To find fault with and condemn as wrong; to blame; to express disapprobation of; as, to censure a man, or his manners, or his writings.
We laugh at vanity, oftener than we censure pride.
2. To condemn by a judicial sentence, as in ecclesiastical affairs.
3. To estimate.
CENSURE, verb intransitive To judge.
Imho, it will be Google that makes Skynet aware. Probably before August 2025.
