Their appeal was rejected as well, which means this was intentional.
I suspect that Youtube is aiming to rid itself of anything that’s remotely controversial. They’d rather have a simple, safe little space free from anything that might endanger advertiser money flowing in and they feel as though they have plenty of content to remove everything that anyone anywhere might find slightly objectionable.
Personally, I think that’s a road to a very bland, unengaging platform. But that’s their call to make.
Actually, most of their appeals *don’t* go through a human but a rather broken AI, so the appeal rejection is also automated.
Right Wing Watch provides a lot of information, biased of course, against conservative groups. In an analogy going back to the 1960s and earlier, reviews of films prepared by the Legion of Decency, a Catholic organization, provided movie viewers about the prurient elements in pre-1965 films, and people deliberately used these reviews to see the films that were condemned. Because You Tube thought that Right Wing Watch was steering people to websites that were condemned, they were banned.
