"I don’t know how to begin to write about what I consider to be a turning point on the restriction of free speech on our precious Internet. I just discovered that YouTube has censored some videos of one of the best citizen journalists on the Net: David Seaman. He is one of the most reputable and honorable journalists on YouTube…I will mourn the loss of his material and the assault on our First Amendment Rights. So be it…God is in control, and He will guide those of us who trust Him..."

Youtube censoring PragerUniversity videos too

[Biggirl]

Cannot wait for Mr. Trump to become President.

They think that by labeling PizzaGate false news they can protect the clinton’s, the obamas and their child raping baby murdering infant sacrificing ilk, it will only cause more investigations.

[Non-Compliant_Deplorable]

I didn’t know about Prager being hit also. They do good stuff. Very, very concerning.

President Trump + Anti-Trust Hammer.

Problem solved.

[eyeamok]

Hey tech guys, just remember the Feds put the CEO and Board of Directors of ALCOA IN PRISON for Antitrust.

Hmmm..... when did that happen?

‘We now return control of your television set to you’

[cicero2k]

Most internet sites are and will be privately held.

As such, content is controlled by the owners.

I may not like how Zuckerberg censors stories on FB. I use FB less and less, come here or Breitbart or Reddit or Twitter.

That’s all we can do. The concept of ‘fake’ and ‘bias’ is subjective.

There will always be an internet site that wants your clicks.

I just checked YouTube. Prager U is alive and well. Could this be fake news?

[glorgau]

Facebook won’t necessarily be king of the hill forever.

For details of how this occurs, look at my AOL and MySpace pages.

Looks like it’s a specific new youtube vid. Found a Prager U announcement/petition about it:

[Buckeye McFrog]

YouTube spiked a particular Praeger U video.
Dennis has talked about it.

The Trump victory has already flushed out some emotion driven crack-pots to be sure. I have no doubt that some of those flushed out, at one time had functional intelligence, or they would never have gotten where they are. Neither do I have any doubt, but that those being discussed have lost the practical ability to apply that once functional intelligence, to political & social issues. (That involves a very different aptitude from that employed by them earlier.)

The incredible moral lapses of those engaged in Mrs. Clinton's behalf are too well known to leave any doubt of my point. The self-anointed internet thought Police, had no problem in supporting the nearest thing to pure evil, yet seen in an American Presidential campaign.

Every once in a while I'll have trouble connecting to FR, and the thought occurs to me: "If the government (or some left-wing Internet provider) wanted to shut down FR and other conservative sites, they could do it."

Those sites would just be gone. Only those Freepers who personally know each other would be able to communicate with each other. And do you think any MSM media would protest? I doubt it - in private, they'd say, "Ha, ha. Good riddance," and in public they'd say, if they acknowledged it at all, that "This is a victory for honest journalism and the American people. There is no constitutional right to spread false or hateful information."

If Google’s platforms won’t host certain things, there probably are better ways to address it than being covetous. Let them be known as the fields of censorship (and sometimes filth). There’s another site called GodTube, as an example of an alternative.
