34% Believe YouTube Will Censor Opposing Political Views; 26% Disagree; 40% Not Sure

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Thirty-four percent (34%) of voters believe YouTube will likely use new content rules to censor views that it disagrees with while 26% believe it will impose the rules fairly. A ScottRasmussen.com national survey found that a plurality–40%–are not sure.

Republicans, by a 44% to 21% margin, believe YouTube will use the rules for censorship. Independent voters, by a 34% to 24% margin, tend to agree. Democrats, however have a different view. Thirty-three percent (33%) of those in Nancy Pelosi’s party believe YouTube will apply the rules equally while just 25% think they will become a tool for censorship (see crosstab results).

The survey also found that 29% believe YouTube is an unbiased platform for all users while 20% believe it is biased against conservatives. Just 6% think the Google owned platform is biased against liberals. Forty-four percent (44%) aren’t sure.

To ensure equal opportunities for all points of view, just 21% believe the federal government should impose regulations on YouTube. Seventy-nine percent (79%) believe the company should they be allowed to manage their own users. That’s partly because 59% believe government regulators are more likely to be biased than YouTube.

Forty-five percent (45%) have at least somewhat closely followed recent news stories about YouTube banning content it considers hateful or discriminatory. That includes 16% who have followed the news Very Closely.

Well, I’ve had my comments deleted and was not able to log in for about 24 hours.

So, I’ll say I’m 100% certain in believing YouTube will censor comments.

Will Censor Opposing Political Views...

Can 100% agree that Youtube has *already* censored opposing political views? (Jones, Milos, Loomer, a few others... and even "hate-speech" Farakhan)

Do people not pay attention? Youtube has gone apesh@t bazonkazoids and cant demonetize and or ban/delete anything right of kim jong un fast enough. This is a deliberate attempt to silence the right for the election
