Censorship Obsession: YouTube Censors Steven Crowder — Again?
NewsBusters ^ | 12/16/2021 | Joseph Vazquez

The censorship overlords at YouTube have apparently continued their digital war with comedian and political commentator Steven Crowder.

Crowder posted a purported snapshot of a notice from the liberal streaming platform informing him that it deleted his recent Louder with Crowder episode headlined, “The LEFT Hates Elon Musk Because He's Too Based!" The purported notice from YouTube said, "Our team has reviewed your content, and, unfortunately, we think it violates our hate speech policy." Crowder responded on Instagram, "Well well well… Rumble and #MugClub it is!! INCOMING!!! 10AM ET. #LwC." BlazeTV, where Crowder's show is streamed, released a statement Dec. 15 saying that Crowder had in fact been suspended from YouTube: "Louder with Crowder will NOT be shown on YouTube for the rest of the year. Why? Your guess is as good as Crowder's." This is now the sixth documented case on CensorTrack in 2021 of YouTube either deleting Crowder's content, demonetizing his channels or suspending him from the platform.

They don’t monitor “content”, they monitor authors....and then make up the “rules”.

The conservative position it to suck it up and build your own YouTube, right?

‘They’ do not monitor anything. Ai does. It searches for specific words. All youtubers are aware of the words and rules. They deliberately use these words, then claim censorship and being banned which creates more viewers. It is a scam.

AI would recognize the shorter logic path to monitor authors and THEN search for words.

Theory is proven by all of the anti-semitic and anti-christian hate that is not suppressed.

Are you sure you’re on the right website? Perhaps your browser has a virus that redirected you here.
Or perhaps you’re just a troll.

Where can I see a list of the words that cause Youtube to remove videos? Which words did Mr. Crowder use? Was someone at Youtube lying when he wrote that “our team has reviewed your content”?

I do not personally have the list. I avoid YouTube at all costs. I have a family member who teaches on YouTube and considering moving to another modality like Vimeo. It is generally reviewed by a person when contested. Often a video is not banned completely but algorithm’s make it difficult to find (and by nature makes it more appealing) specifically when of a conspiratory nature.

Ah, yes another insult for those who disagree. I am a conservative. That used to mean using logic, reputable links when making a claim and respectable debate. It no longer means that. Conservatives are now as free speech suppressing, lockstep demanding,reactionary and hysterical as the left. It is embarrassing.

If you are a repeat offender, then yes, they would watch you more closely. Everyone believes there is hate toward their religion, politics and lifestyle on YouTube. Everyone. We have forgotten that a difference if opinion is not hate. That rejecting or disapproval is not hate. The word no longer has value, we have trivialized it. The same with evil, satanic and demonic which are now used for anyone not in agreement and no longer means anything.

It’s easy to self righteously claim anticensorship bona fides by chastising Conservatives as free speech suppressing, lockstep, reactionary(!), and hysterical.

But you reveal yourself by saying that youtubers deliberately use words to get banned and claim censorship in a scam to create more viewers.

Nice try noob, NOT
