Comment on YouTube will restore channels banned for COVID and election misinformation

I’m having a hard time believing that the Biden administration was some tyrannical anti-free speech censorship regime (can you imagine?). I remember the White House wanting a meeting with the social media platform owners at the time to discuss concerns of COVID misinformation that was literally killing people, and they didn’t say anything about being forced to until Trump won the election. This stinks of shitty lip service to the current administration.
I mean Biden cancelled TikTok because it was spreading truths about Palestine and he had an old man forcably removed from the press conference: newsweek.com/sam-husseini-removed-antony-blinken-…
I hate Trump as much as anyone but Biden wasn’t doing anyone any favors.
It’s not lip service. The large platforms are now the official propaganda arm of fascism.
Of course they are. They see which way the wind is blowing and are following it to the money. Simple as.
The large platforms are now the official propaganda arm of fascism.
You say this while the large platforms have all been found to have been the official propaganda arm of the democrats, which is a staple of actual fascism, while now the current administration is making them stop being propaganda arms of the democrats.
they’ve been found? by who?
the owners of large platforms and their right to moderate their communities has little to do with “democrat propaganda”.
Misinformation gets people hurt, YouTube at the time didn’t want their users getting hurt.
now that the new administration is here, they are removing these policies to allow even more propaganda back onto their platform.
Misinformation gets people hurt, YouTube at the time didn’t want their users getting hurt.
How are so many people in here missing the entire point of the article that this thread is about?
Youtube didn’t think their users were getting hurt. Youtube deleted videos and banned accounts because the Biden administration forced them to.
The company acknowledged that Biden administration officials had pressured YouTube to remove content “that did not violate its policies,” which Alphabet called “unacceptable and wrong”
This guy! ☝ What a joker! 😂😂😂😂😂
Do you even know what the topic you’re writing these comments in is about?
