I guess some minorities work hard than others and need to be hammered down!

YouTube is purging right-wing and independent commentators in the wake of the Parkland High shooting while admitting that it is mistakenly banning conservatives.
Independent journalist Mike Cernovich reported earlier today that a video he uploaded of left-wing Antifa activists chanting death threats had been taken down by YouTube. The video shows Antifa shouting violent threats at attendees of Cernovich’s Night for Freedom event in Washington DC, which took place on Saturday. Cernovich commented to Breitbart News on YouTube’s removal, saying, “YouTube is censoring honest, unedited reporting about ANTIFA’s actions. This can mean only one thing — they endorse far left wing violence.”

Google, which owns YouTube, has also banned political YouTube star and classical liberal Carl Benjamin, better known by his online pseudonym “Sargon of Akkad.”
Although his videos are still available to view, he has been locked out of his Google account, including YouTube, and is unable to upload new videos. Benjamin was also permanently banned from Twitter last year — Facebook is now the only major social media platform that he can use to get his message out.
In a comment to Breitbart News, Benjamin said the ban, which mirrored that of Canadian academic Jordan Peterson last August, was the beginning of a “platform-wide purge.”
“As James Damore’s lawsuit against Google has shown, the entire company is riddled with a far-left ideological orthodoxy that has taken hold to a radical degree,” said Benjamin.
“Google’s active suppression of individualist ideas within its own ranks has caused classical liberal and conservative commentators to be considered as far-right as Nazis, and are being treated with the same kind of prejudice and ruthlessness.”

I hope so. If Youtube is going to ban these conservatives after letting them be on there for years and reach a following of 150,000 or so, shouldn’t they have advertised their site as ‘no conservative allowed’ to begin with? Do they think this censuring is not obvious?
Thanks for posting that even though I don’t have a clue what a bittorrent is :). I went looking for another one of my favorite Youtube sites and they have been banned too. I searched for them and found they had moved to bitchute.
If youtube wants to cut off their nose to spite their face by driving users off their site, fine by me. The other two have the same features where you can subscribe to the people you like and I have plenty of room in my bookmarks.
LOL! I just shared that on my FB to see if it worked the same as sharing from YT and it shared just fine. I haven’t registered with them so it wouldn’t let me click the like button, but I LIKE.
YouTube is attacking all gun channels right now, even pellet gun channels.
They are giving them strikes and terminating many.
Free speech, not so much.

Thanks, GraceG!
