But just because one particular platform doesn’t think your content is appropriate for all audiences, it is not censorship

That is EXACTLY what the Baker and Photographers said about Gay Weddings!!

YouTube, Facebook, etc. should be classified as common carries and treated like the phone company.

Those technical technicalities are the worst ones. The non-technical technicalities are much easier to deal with.

When it can be shown that this is happening to conservative content and not to liberal content - let alone blatantly racist and/or violent content - it is not a technical difficulty, it is bias.

Leftists at site like Techdirt (dirt is quite appropriate here) categorically deny any bias at Facebook, Twitter, Youtube... They even assert that O’Keefe’s Project Veritas videos don’t ever show any such bias.
So any attempt with logic and facts with them is useless.

Google and Facebook are engaged in systematic oppression of alternative viewpoints.

It ranges from outright banning/censoring to downranking so you’re harder to find to subtle “poisoning the well” tactics.

They are so LARGE that their private business policies are interfering the rights of others to speak, to associate, to express their beliefs.

"...What there is evidence for is that YouTube is trying very hard to sort through its hilariously enormous trove of video content for objectionable material, and that it often does this quite badly..."

Gee. That is interesting. Why then are there a large number of well known conservatives such as Prager, Bill Whittle, and Colin Flaherty (just to name three) who have been in ongoing battles with having their accounts "demonetized" or outright removed, but...we don't hear about any Leftists who are having the same things done to them?

” Just to be clear, there is no real evidence for that. “

Just this morning Twitter suspended me for sharing a Steve Crowder youtube video - which youtube banned two hours later. That’s the ticket, no real evidence.

Another lying lib.

Prager’s courses are on the Constitution and moved to “adult only” content.

Michele Malkin has long endured the same thing.

Prager’s investigation has found staffed youtubers doing the classification, it isn’t a software glitch.

When something like this happens to minorities, the leftists claim that "disparate impact" is proof of racial bias.
