Druff: What are you going to do when the PC police come after you?

[Dan Druff]

You mean like YouTube censoring videos from Dennis Prager who is Jewish and wrote a best seller on the religion? He is basically as far from a Nazi as you can get. The censorship is going a lot further than censoring "hate groups."

Google is a "private company" (not really but for argument sake) and should be able to do whatever they want, but they cant claim a "free speech" sort of business and censor.

Also, calling this rag tag bunch of White Nationalists losers Nazis is giving them too much credit and diminishes the true evil of Nazism. This is just a group of white racists losers who decided to take a five hour break from World of Warcraft to attend a rally. Most are just a bunch of nerds that have no friends who found other nerds who have no friends to hang out with. The media is giving them too much credit and makes them appear larger than they are which only emboldens other idiots to join.

Uhhh... those videos weren't "cenrsored"; they were 'restricted' from *children* readily being able to watch them.

But more than 15 videos are “restricted” on YouTube. . . . This means the clips don’t show up for those who have turned on filtering — say, a parent shielding their children from explicit videos. A YouTube spokesperson told us that the setting is optional and “based on algorithms that look at a number of factors, including community flagging on videos.” . . .

Get a grip and tone down the hyperbolic rhetoric.

That's actually one of many tricks that YouTube uses to censor right-wing content.

Among the tricks:

- Removing videos for flimsy "content violations".

- Making the video rate poorly in searches, even if far more popular than other videos which come up earlier in the search results.

- Restricting videos to "adults" who are logged in and listed as 18+. On the surface, this seems reasonable, but in reality it creates an extra step to view the video -- one which many YouTube viewers don't want to deal with (many people aren't logged into a google account). Again, the standards for restricting such videos vary depending upon the political views expressed.

After the recent James Damore debacle, do you really think it's unlikely that Google has built in biases against conservatives?

They already did it during the election. During the concerns about Hillary's health (when she fainted in the blistering 74 degree heat), searches for "Hillary Clinton health" came up with nothing in the auto-fill. Instead, it kept trying to suggest "Hillary Clinton healthcare".

There were tons of examples like this.

YouTube is no different.
