YouTube, the world’s largest video platform, appears to have changed its moderation policies to allow more content that violates its own rules to remain online.
YouTube, the world’s largest video platform, appears to have changed its moderation policies to allow more content that violates its own rules to remain online.
I made some comments on YouTube over the last week about LAPD and Israel, and all of them have been deleted without notice. Not even a warning of “hey you aren’t allowed to talk about that” or “you violated a mysterious rule sometime”
It’s the YouTube automoderation system.
You don’t get notified if the channel owner deletes your comment.
Considering the channel owner is heavily left leaning, I don’t think it was them but they may be getting extra cautious about what speech they allow, given the current regime.
I think people speaking on these subjects should genuinely come together to host their content on a Peertube instance and broadcast it to their Youtube audience, because this is a pretty strong use case. To be able to speak freely about these matters and inform people is pretty serious.
