YouTube has blamed "newer members" of it's 10,000 person fleet of content moderators for a virtual bloodbath of video takedowns, strikes, and account restrictions taking place across a large cross-section of conservative channels.
The Google division announced the new moderators in December, tasked with spotting said fake news, along with misleading or extreme content in the wake of a raging debate over the effect of propaganda and inaccurate reporting after Hillary Clinton's 2016 election loss.
Google essentially responded to the crackdown on conservatives with "our bad," after news of the mass censorship began to spread.
"As we work to hire rapidly and ramp up our policy enforcement teams throughout 2018, newer members may misapply some of our policies resulting in mistaken removals," wrote a YouTube spokesman in an email. "We’re continuing to enforce our existing policies regarding harmful and dangerous content, they have not changed. We’ll reinstate any videos that were removed in error."
Some of the banned accounts include:
Anti-School, Bombard's Body Language, Charlton, Charles Walton, Defango, Dustin Nemos, David Seaman, Destroying The Illusion, Ron Johnson, Richie Allen, and Titus Frost.
Those who were issued strikes, partial bans, or temporary suspensions include According to Joe, Blackstone Intelligence, BakedAlaska, InfoWars, Jerome Corsi, Military Arms Channel, and MrLTavern, among many others. -The Outline

Does you tube have a complaint box?
They are feeling the legal heat from their clients and the FCC.
To a liberal, anything that doesn’t conform to their world view is ‘fake news’...................................
I need to start extricating myself from Google. Unfortunately, I’m kind of tied into them with Google Voice, which along with a free 1GB data plan from Freedompop, has reduced my cell phone bill to $0/mo. Kind of hard to beat that.
Censorship: toldja so.
All the fault of some junior level mods, eh?
Don’t you believe it. This is a plot hatched by George Soros & Co. at Davos. We need to take to a war footing about it.
I use Bing. Microsoft is not as totalitarian.
Has POTUS, or any Republican, made a comment or statement on this sudden banning of conservatives, by Oooogle, youtube, Twitter or FB?
Just curious.
I’m sure they have a tacit “act now apologize later” policy.
Even ‘Truth Factory’ kitty got a strike...FU, YT!
These “newer members” include the Southern Poverty Law Center, a viciously anti-conservative group.
See, for example, https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files ...
I use Duck Duck Go.
They say that they'll give the government everything that they've collect on you. The good part, they don't collect/save anything on anybody.
"These “newer members” include the Southern Poverty Law Center, a RACIST, viciously anti-conservative, HATE group."
Morris Dees ought to be in prison...or worse.
Some wealthy anti-American thug may have hired people to take those jobs at Google. Given the power available if they take down the United States, someone like Soros could spend almost any amount and consider it a good investment.
Are you telling me that in this day and age, there isn’t anyone that can supply Conservative alternatives to facebook, you tube, twitter, etc? Because either there are a lot of people blowing smoke or there is a large clientele waiting for it.
