The End of The Beginning of Free Speech on YouTube
YouTube, which is owned by Google, is placing restrictions on videos that comply with its official policies but which it feels are contrary to political correctness. These restrictions range from denying advertising revenue, preventing sharing, and making them difficult to find in searches. The ‘experts’ who will set the limits of political correctness include the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which publishes a so-called hate list that focuses on conservative, and the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, which collaborated with the Swedish government to block 14,000 Twitter users over so-called hate speech because they opposed the government’s immigration policies. –GEG

YouTube to Censor "Controversial" Videos
Google and Youtube Banned Prof Who Refuses to Use Gender-Neutral Pronouns
Professor Jordan B. Peterson of the University of Toronto was locked out of his Google and YouTube accounts when he posted a video calling for an end to the neoMarxism influence in universities. He wants to stop feeding that cult by cutting it off at the source of student indoctrination. The Professor is creating a website with software to perform a linguistic analysis of the course description to identify those that are infected with Marxist ideology. He favors a classical education that introduces the great works of civilization and teaches how to think, speak, and write. Youtube said he had violated one of their rules but, when they could not tell him what the rule was, they restored his accounts. [We can be sure YouTube now is busy creating the missing rule.] –GEG https://needtoknow.news/2017/08/google-and-youtube-banned-prof-who-refuses-to-use-gender-neutral-pronouns/
People need to walk away from it. I walked away from Google+ for the same reasons. Content filtering, censorship, and other problems made being there pointless. There are other ways for content producing people to make money too beyond Steemit.
Google should change their motto from "Do no evil" to "Do hide evil."
I don't understand how there isn't a viable competitor to youtube yet!
I'm always a fan of people who push what JP has to say though. Understanding what free speech is and why its so important to protect is vital!
