The social media platform YouTube is engaging in the duplicitous practice of scrubbing dislikes from Biden videos to protect the president’s political image, new data reveals.
The data, obtained by the Epoch Times, shows that YouTube has deleted an astounding 2.5 million dislikes from Biden’s videos.
“YouTube has deleted about 2.5 million ‘dislikes’ from videos on the official White House channel of President Joe Biden, according to data collected and posted online by a researcher who wished to remain anonymous,” the Epoch Times reported. “YouTube recently announced that it’s testing a new page design that hides the dislike count.”
“The Google-owned video platform allows users to give videos either a thumb up (like) or thumb down (dislike),” the report continued. “For at least two years, it’s had a policy to remove likes and dislikes it considers spam.”
“We have policies and systems in place to ensure that the engagement on YouTube is authentic, and remove any fraudulent metrics,” a YouTube spokesperson told The Epoch Times but “wouldn’t go into details on what criteria it uses to make these calls.”
“The White House videos have seen these kinds of interventions on an ongoing basis, but it appears it’s only the dislikes that are disappearing,” the publication added.
YouTube users have long noticed the phenomenon of the overwhelming number of dislikes disappearing from the videos of a president who reportedly got 82 million votes in the 2020 election — by far the most in U.S. history.
Welcome to 1984 2.0.
How could anyone dislike such a wonderful president?
“They didn’t fear Trump, but they certainly fear Biden and the Democrats.”
No, they don’t “fear” Biden and the Dems. They think just like them, and are covering for Biden and his Admin. YouTube is one of their ilk. Same herd mentality.
Regards,
The democrat party’s information warfare campaign continues unabated.
We have policies and systems in place to ensure that the engagement on YouTube is **authentic**, and remove any fraudulent metrics.
What a cute way of saying we don’t allow truth it always comes in handy to be friends with media.
You save they have deleted MILLIONS of dislikes? They must have missed quite a few as I figured it would be in the trillions of “possibles”.
