YouTube Takes Action Against Candace Owens

Each social media platform has developed its own method for filtering out hateful and abusive content. It's a process that can involve human moderators sifting through gruesome material, AI filters using certain trigger words, and systems which let users report problematic posts and videos

Violating rules regarding hate speech can also get a creator demonetized, according to a recent move made by Alphabet's (GOOG) - Get Free Report video platform YouTube. The creator-led content platform has been stripping monetization of some problematic videos.

Demonetization has been applied to several of Candace Owens' videos that specifically target gender-affirming care for transgender children. The videos reportedly featured Owens intentionally using incorrect pronouns for trans people (known as misgendering) as well as using dead-names -- the name a trans person was given at birth which they no longer use.

These videos can still be found on Owens' channel, but will no longer produce ad revenue. Almost one year ago, YouTube said that misgendering and deadnaming weren't specifically prohibited in its terms of service, which prevented the removal of such content.

At the risk of offending everyone on here, and gambling with the possibility of my own banishment for all eternity, I must report Candace was found guilty of misgendering trans, among her other grevious sins.

female tennis players will have only themselves to blame if this gets a tick of approval. why haven’t they spoken up already.

As long as the delusionals’ DNA matches their birth names, they’re not being misgendered. What next? If a guy thinks he’s Santa Claus, but he was born Larry Smith, will they demonetize those who call him the latter?

Maybe the Chinese will step in and set up their own league.

Groomers against Candace!

Or the Saudis could do it, as they have done in golf, but I don’t think the Saudis would invest in women’s anything.

With all of these social media companies censoring and filtering content, they are Publicly Admitting they are in fact PUBLISHERS and their 230 immunity should be smoked for their actions.

What is “deadnaming” ?

[Mark17]

I wonder if they think she a white supremicist? 😀😆🤗😊

What is “deadnaming” ?

After a trans person changes their name to their "new" identity, their old birth name is "dead" to them and they insist others not use it. I just recently learned this myself.

[DallasBiff]

What is “deadnaming” ?

It means that you are recognized by the name on your birth certificate, so if the name is William on the birth certificate and it goes by Wilhelmenia, William is the "deadname".

Quite ghoulish, IMO.

[Gene Eric]

jeez... typical Rat inversion of fact — birthname.

Candace for VP in ‘24!

Candace does not need YouTube. Rumble will suit her fine.

Just because they are nuts doesn’t mean we have to join them

[Rdct29]

I watch a lot of people on youtube and all of them have been demonetized. The censorship is ridiculous. They are no better then Twitter was before Musk.

So, encouraging kids to cut off their body parts is NOT gruesome. Got it.
