YouTube has now de-monetized ALL videos by Paul Joseph Watson.
As a fig-leaf to political motives, YouTube took this measure at the same time they also de-monetized all videos by Louis Farrakhan.
PJW joins a long line of YouTube creators having fallen out of favor, like Milo Yiannopoulis, Steven Crowder and an Austin-based broadcaster and advocate of traditional sex roles for amphibians (who cannot be named, per FreeRepublic rules).
Because such YouTube creators played significant roles in getting Donald Trump elected, there is speculation this measure has been taken in preparation for the 2020 elections. Such measures would cut into favorable re-election coverage for President Trump.
Other YouTube creators have also been banned simply for talking about the people who have been banned.
The screen capture below features part of the YouTube notice Watson received. It indicates Watson has been placed on a YouTube creator list including human traffickers, mass murderers and terrorists:
Because apparently pointing out the crass culture and herd like mentality of millenials is politically incorrect on par with an antisemitic black separatist telling tales of the origins of white people being created by a wise black scientist who distilled the essence of evil into white devils.
I really like his videos. This makes me furious.
Dems getting ready for the Election , banning people from ballots , youtube , facebook etc etc etc
Yep. Silence dissent, ban and block and intimidate.
And NO civil rights prosecutions for the voter intimidation and vandalism.
Rumor has it that the algorithms used by google, facebook and twitter remove anything connected to a white face because anything produced by a white face is a danger to society (at least the liberal members of our society)
Isn’t it the conservative position to agree that the owners of social media may kick pro-Trump people off their platforms w/o repercussion?
Thanks for the info. There’s a war out there for your mind. HOORAY PJW...one of the good guys!
Despotism (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaWSqboZr1w
A community is low on a Respect scale if common courtesy is withheld from large groups of people on account of their political attitudes.
...in a downright despotism opposition is dangerous whether the despotism is official or whether it is unofficial...
A community rates low on the Information scale when the press, radio, and other channels of communication are controlled by only a few people and when citizens have to accept what they are told.
See how a community trains its teachers
...these students are being taught to accept uncritically whatever they are told. Questions are not encouraged.
And if books and newspapers and the radio [and facebook and youtube and...] are officially controlled the people will read and accept exactly what the few in control want them to. Government censorship is one form of control. The newspaper that breaks the government censorship rule can be suspended. It is also possible for newspapers and other lines of communication to be controlled by private interests...
Democracy (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)

The newspapers of a real democracy meet these tests...
Newspaper checks.
1. Balance of coverage
2. Disclosure of source
3. Competence of staff
If the Dems win everything they’re not going to have enough boots for all the necks
It is a commercial venture and their funds have been taken without violating rules as posted.
The DemonRats will just run over people with cars as the Commies in Venezuela are doing.
What about Daily Motion? Is that not a viable site for this guy?
What is your position?
If youtube is going to screen content for idelogical purposes, they are financially accoutable for every bit of copyright infringment on their site. Also for porn and death threats that are posted.
They can’t take the common carrier defense.
YouTube is being demonetized pretty rapidly itself. They are dragging Alphabet down. May they sink the whole ship.
Therefore he must be destroyed.
I’m for breaking them up and scattering them to the four winds.
This isn’t a one time event. Let’s face it. They intend to shut down dissention and disagreement. AKA China. Points of view that don’t mesh. This will become much more common and widespread unless... There won’t be but one way to stop something like this.
