What's the point of establishing a policy that you then say doesn't mean anything?

And they say there is no such thing as a 'slippery slope'.

I bet #MAGA is a “conspiracy” but #resist is a “movement” according to google.

60+ million of us are conspiring to re-elect Trump. No doubt that youtubers like Diamond and Silk “come close to” encouraging our conspiracy and cannot be recommended. But there are plenty of “Trump is literally Hitler” videos that can be recommended instead.

So no more "Trump colluded with Russia" videos then? Too bad, CNN. That's 90% of your content!

Oh wait, that conspiracy theory is okay with Google.

So, will they be banning "Muh Russia" conspiracy videos? Didn't think so.

Conspiracy doesn’t mean that it is not real. Just that two or more are involved.

Google needs to lose it’s protected status as a neutral carrier.

In 1960, the Alex Jones show would have been talking about unwitting black men being left to the ravages of syphilis long after penicillin was invented, for the sake of a study.
He might have talked about MK Ultra and the insane things being done by the CIA like giving unwitting people LSD, leading to some deaths.
He might have mentioned US government experiments where people were injected with plutonium in Mengele style medical experiments with no consent.
He might have mentioned former gestapo and SS working for the CIA like Klaus Barbie and Reinhard Gehlen. Bilderberg was “conspiracy” stuff until recently.

All of that would have been laughed at, and every bit was true.
Shutting down “conspiracy” is shutting down discussions of what they do.

He might have mentioned Hoover illegally wiretapping and blackmailing politicians and Presidents. Or him illegally wiretapping MLK and sending him a letter suggesting he commit suicide rather than have his affairs be published.

All of that would be called “conspiracy”.

So, no more Colbert, no more Kimmel, no more Adam Schiff-for-Brains, no more pro-Hillary BS? Yeah, I didn't think so. Thanks tcrlaf.

Just finished reading the first sentence.

My conclusion: You Tube will not be as much fun. It's heading toward **Boring** Land!

And the online stuff can be changed within minutes by the Deep State to erase the Facebook, Twitter and email trails of anyone.

One of my fears in digitizing history is it can be changed so easily.

When Sarah Palin suggested we needed to get a handle on social media she was greeted with a collective yawn.

Right.
When Online American History. The Presidents
begins...…..

“The greatest president in American History was Barack Obama. Before he elevated the office it was controlled by white racist supremacists all with Klan ties and the blood of slavery on their white hands”....

It’s over.

Medically inaccurate like calling a dude with breast implants a “she”.
