Youtube has become my entertainment and “how to” site. For anything political, I use the others.

I think he needs a reminder that it was Antifa and BLM doing the rioting, not "radical Trump voters".

Knowing them they will ban all Tea Party videos and Trump rally videos, and any video criticizing “the Messiah” Obama.

No doubt YouRube will soon be banning things like this

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)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx25aMPvbJo

“The newspapers of a real democracy meet these tests...”

Newspaper checks.
1. Balance of coverage
2. Disclosure of source
3. Competence of staff

Yep, and when you rewrite the dictonary definition (and they did this for SEVERAL words this year) you change the LEGAL definition.

Living language.

Wrong. YouTube couldn’t have designed a better way to further radicalize themselves.

Alphabet, the parent company of Google, which owns Youtube, desperately needed to get Biden elected. You see, Google is developing AI, along with software for monitoring every aspect of life, both in public and in private, with the CCP and the PLA.

The AI can be used directly in bio-engineering and military applications.

The CCP and PLA are willing to pay very handsomely for the technology.

To paraphrase a quote attributed to VI Lenin, "Google will sell the CCP and PLA the rope with which we they will hang us!"

don’t forget that YouTube put a Prager video on the 10 commandments on a restricted list... Supposedly because it mentioned “murder.”
