Big Tech Scrubs Religious Radio Show from YouTube
mindmatters ^ | 6/3/21 | Caitlin Bassett

Posted on 07/18/2021 6:44:54 AM PDT by Roman_War_Criminal

YouTube removed an entire radio show from its platform this week, hosted by popular Christian author and social commentator Eric Metaxas, citing violations of their community standards.

Metaxas – author of biographies on the lives of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Martin Luther, and William Wilberforce, among many other books – announced the news to his social media pages on Tuesday.

“It’s happened,” he wrote on his Facebook page. “Despite our going FAR out of our way to comply with their arbitrary ‘community standards’, YouTube decided to remove every single video we’ve ever done on the Eric Metaxas Show off their platform.”

The Eric Metaxas Radio Show, humorously called “The Show About Everything”, has featured a host of big name guests, including former NFL star Tim Tebow, Hollywood actors such as Jim Caveziel and Gary Sinise, the controversial Milo Yiannopoulos, and Discovery’s own Stephen Meyer. Theologians, actors and actresses, journalists, musicians, filmmakers, and politicians alike have appeared on the show over the years.

I’m kind of liking the way Odysee looks and feels.

I’ve been looking at several different Youtube alternatives,
and not to say Odysee is the best (yet), but rather it’s looking pretty good.

Taking bets here ...

How long before YouTube and Google (same monster) decide to block and censor all Latin Masses and the streaming therein ?

Many of us watch Sunday TLD Mass since the plandemic started.

Google sees its job to be global enforcer of dictators of the world. aka illegitimate pope, illegitimate biden, etc.

The “Landreau Regime” we could call it.
We’re not of the body, so we must be absorbed…ascribe ‘absorbed’ to any horrific demise possible.

Trying Odysee ...

“Aw shucks!
There was an error. Try
to fix it. If that doesn’t work, try pressing”

THIS INTERNET IS GETTING SO BAD. No programmers believe in backward compatibility. Every month the webpages are especially designed to force you to update your browsers. MONTHLY.

And we wonder why so many viruses infect our machines ??!

YouTube is so big. It’ll be hard to compete against or stop. Maybe Trump’s lawsuit will help.

Also in play here ...

Forcing browser upgrades mandates more memory and obsoleting of older machines. Never ending circle of taking more $$$ for content that could easily be written to work on year old browsers.

It’s like that Bond movie where Bond goes after that media mogul.

Conservative speech is the frog in the pot. Most still don’t realize it. The Left has the ability to shut it all out now. They’re just doing it by degrees.

Remember that YouTube was bought, years ago, by Google which, in an internal corporate shuffle, is now a subsidiary of Alphabet! All of these are LEFTist of the LEFT Coast and that includes most of their employees and policies!

The reason why this is significant is that people use Youtube/Twitter/Facebook as a cash cow. It’s how they make their money via donations and advertising. The problem is that got into a partnership with the devil and now the devil is going to do devil things. It’s just the price you pay.

>>> YouTube is so big. It’ll be hard to compete against or stop. Maybe Trump’s lawsuit will help.

Youtube’s size is governed by # active users uploading content.

It used to be that those users uploaded exclusively on Youtube.

That is no longer true.... They are on multiple platforms PRECISELY because of what Youtube has been doing.
Alternate platforms are now growing exponentially.

We just need to ween ourselves from relying on Youtube as an exclusive source of user video content.... and eventually boycott it.

Every time I hear one of these stories It makes me want to take youtube off my bookmarks.

I certainly would never at this point upload new content.

This is war. Plain and simple. Tyranny. If you fear God, there is no place for you. You, and yours will be excluded. If you resist you will be exterminated. This is how it works; it’s how it has always worked. While you slept, believing the best about your ‘fellow Americans’, the Sons of the Judenrein masons have been building the digital walls of the Ghetto we now find ourselves in. The ‘street’ where you once could walk to go to the grocery store or bank is now blocked by a brick wall. Your digital freedom of movement is being taken away. Soon, true Believers will be crammed together, beaten, and starved into submission. They enemies of God are waging this digital War by ‘any means necessary’. They must not win. Take a look at any of the many Holocaust Movies that have graced the Silver Screen down through the years and you will see a recurring pattern: Life is good in Germany, and our Jewish characters generally enjoy their lives with their German friends and neighbors. There may be the occasional Anti-Semite, but that’s not new. But, the voice of the News, and the Media begin to change and to ostracize “The Jew”. A growing unease, a sense of dread begins to cast a pall over their lives. Then, one day, they are falsely accused of all sorts of nefarious machinations. They lose their jobs and most of their friends. They are now ‘The Enemy Within’, a threat to the very survival of the nation. Jewish soldiers are the enemies ‘within our ranks’. We all know what happens next. If we do not come together to stop this madness the ghosts of Auschwitz and Dachau will testify against us on Judgement Day. They died powerless, and without hope. We have both. They are watching us. Let’s make them proud.

The most recent strike was for violating YouTube’s “medical misinformation policy” when an April episode featuring Naomi Wolf was posted. Wolf is a bestselling author and journalist, former political advisor on the presidential campaigns of both Bill Clinton and Al Gore, and an outspoken critic of the lockdown policies during COVID-19.

Big tech has successfully implemented carbon-neutral nazi-style book burning.

His show is on TBN cable and old TV which still broadcasts on regular “UHF” channels at least here locally.

That's one of the great things about FR - it's backward compatible all the way to 1998. :)
