A report claims that the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is assisting Google with the policing of content on its YouTube platform, while conservatives face increased censorship. According to the Daily Caller, the SPLC “is one of the more than 100 nongovernment organizations (NGOs) and government agencies in YouTube’s ‘Trusted Flaggers’ program, a source with knowledge of the arrangement told TheDC.”
“The SPLC and other program members help police YouTube for extremist content, ranging from so-called hate speech to terrorist recruiting videos,” the Daily Caller explained. “All of the groups in the program have confidentiality agreements, a spokesperson for Google, YouTube’s parent company, previously told TheDC. A handful of YouTube’s ‘Trusted Flaggers,’ including the Anti-Defamation League and No Hate Speech — a European organization focused on combatting intolerance — have gone public with their participation in the program. The vast majority of the groups in the program have remained hidden behind their confidentiality agreements.”
The report was also picked up by Fox News.
The SPLC, which has been funded by companies as large as Apple, lists anti-extremist Muslim reformers such as Maajid Nawaz, on their “hate” databases, and recently even claimed Factual Feminist commentator Christina Hoff Sommers legitimizes “male supremacy.”
On December 25, the SPLC also flagged #Christmas, #MerryChristmas, and #Jesus as extremist trends on their “hate tracker,” while in June, the SPLC acknowledged the fact that several mass shooters had been fans of their organization.

“The SPLC and other program members help police YouTube for extremist content...”
“extremist content” = anything we disagree with.
And a Communist Front organization.
Google, YouTube, etc. need to be broken up.
The only thing the Trump Administration has succeeded in doing is raising my taxes.
I took a quick peek at the SPLC website.
They have a section called Hatewatch. Here’s their description of that section: “Hatewatch is a blog that monitors and exposes the activities of the American radical right.”
No bias there. /s
One of the largest hate-groups in America is helping to track “unacceptable” postings on Facebook. Nice.
Correction: ...Google/YouTube...
Sorry a bout that.
Youtube is under a lot of pressure because they are the largest violator of copyright laws in the world. So the liberals allow them to stay open so long as they cooperate.
They get paid handsomely to do that
Jerome Corsi just got a lifetime ban and his Feb earnings taken.
IS there an alternative to you tube?
Thanks for asking. I never knew there were alternatives.
Youtube is only censoring conservatives because the conservative message wins every debate.
