YouTube will ban videos disputing the 2020 U.S. presidential election

[LiveFreeOrFight]

Why am I not surprised you're 100% fine with censorship.

That said, why is Youtube drawing the line now? Why such boldness?

It's what commies do. It's how they think. Even if they don't realize it. And they are plenty of them around.

As for youtube, well, they don't want people to have choices . They prefer a single party system which they fund for obvious reasons.

Lol, please explain all the ridiculous, frivolous court cases about this election brought by conservatives which have been thrown out by the various courts for utter lack of evidence, including by the SCOTUS. I believe they are 1-47 by now. It seems that justice disagrees with your opinion.

If you can't understand what I typed I'm afraid that's your problem alone and you might want to consider a remedial reading course. It was pretty straightforward and 100% accurate. But let me break it down to kindergarden terms that a leftist tool might comprehend: the media is lying, the Democrats tried to steal the election and got caught. People have ALREADY BEEN CONVICTED and will be doing time. We are in the middle of an ATTEMPTED COUP and those involved are guilty of TREASON. The information is there if you have the courage and intellectual honesty to examine it.

Too much stupidity here, article and comments.

Ok people, this is how the democratic/socialism starts. They start banning and censoring public opinion on social media services. Then the middle-class citizen starts paying dearly for those, in the 1% and the people that don't want to work. Then they control what you buy and who you buy it from. Good luck with that. China said many times, they would cripple the USA without firing a single missile. Think about it! Many countries are changing to socialism without considering the consequences of a nation that failed from the adaptation of socialism. examples: China, Russia, India, Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba. Many prayers that the US has not been lost forever. Not until another Trump or Trump himself, returns in two years. If it lasts that long.

You should already have a broader understanding of socialism at your age...
Edit: And talk about failed states when Trump is trying to overthrow the election mega lol

Lol again, got any proof? Your delivery does not inspire confidence in your conclusions.

Agreed. But the best way to stop it is to just wait until trump lands cheeks first on the tarmac next to Marine One. And he will be there on 01\20\21.

People have ALREADY BEEN CONVICTED and will be doing time

Who?

I will once mainstream media is forced to acknowledge all the fraud and deception in our voting system. I bet there is not a single state without fraud. Yet there is no wide spread fraud and no room for improvement. I don't care if it changes the results of the election. It does need to be acknowledged and dealt with.

I have no doubt there has always been voter fraud. I think the only PROVEN cases in 2020 have been 2 in North Carolina. But in my opinion, neither party can lay a credible claim about the other as far as cheating goes. I think the big irony in 2020 is that all the GOP has done was prove just how little fraud actually occurs. Pointing a finger and whining like a 5-year-old getting his hair pulled in not proof. Take a state like Arizona. 11,000+ total votes difference. A voter fraud effort of just 1000 votes would take incredible planning and then would easily be found out if audited because even electronic votes leave a trail.

Now after all that, I believe that what youtube has decided is wrong. When I think of the things they have allowed to remain over the years pulling posts for this just seems hypocritical.

Now hold on just a second there.....

I'm gonna need more popcorn!

Funny you saying that. My father said the same thing about both Dems and Reps. How you can single Trump out is beyond me.

I didn't single out trump. In fact I didn't even mention him. But if I did it might be because trump and the GOP are doing just that.

Forget about Qnon or parler or whatever they are called - I log into Breitbart once in awhile to see how many are filled with hate . freedom does come free - get the ammo boys MAGA
Even on such a main site - there are multiple calls to civil war, violence etc .
When the current USA president incites violence's against the media - when he ask his personally appointed judges to do the right thing . Most of the political violence in the USA is from the right extremist.
I mean they believe all that pizzagate crap .
So depends how youtube ban , whether it's even folks raising some valid points .

There has always been censorship on YT
Here in NZ it's not illegal to have a communist party & in most democratic countries - we can freely travel to all countries in the world ,

Americans do not realize how controlled and censored they are .
You are far from the most democratic country in the world - number 37 I think .

Why should we give conspiracy nuts a stage - I mean they don't believe in science or technology like 5G ?
But they cry when their kids can't go to kindergarten with no vaccinations , or go into a private area without a mask - going on about their sovereignty rights- when they will happily abuse others .

A lot of libertarians are cowards to deal with the real world - and as a libertarian shouldn't you allow YT to do as it pleases - just like you want others to leave you alone - cowardly hypocrites most of them

One thing you've said is true. We are in the middle of an attempted coup, and Trump and his cronies must not be allowed to get away with it.

Just like they banned all videos about “hanging chads” and how G Bush “stole” the election away from Al Gore.
If you don’t see what’s happening here then you deserve to live in the type of society that Big Tech is making for you.

I have no doubt there has always been voter fraud. I think the only PROVEN cases in 2020 have been 2 in North Carolina.

There have been over 1,000 cases of voter fraud in just Georgia alone for the 2020 election cycle. There is also an investigation into at least one well-funded group which was instructing several thousand college students to illegally change their voter registration to that state.

And since Georgia, like most states, has no real process for verifying ballots (it is actually illegal to verify the signature on a ballot against the voter registration card), the only reason these 1,000 people were caught was that they were actually stupid enough to use their own name twice.

Edit: And talk about failed states when Trump is trying to overthrow the election

In a free state, all people have a right to their day in court. Would you like a list of all the Democrats who have gone to court over election-related matters? I'm not sure if this forum software can handle a post that long, but if you wish, I will try.

 

[Endymio]

There are more recent examples than this. In the 2018 Georgia governor's race, Stacey Abrams (on Joe Biden's shortlist for VP) lost, then immediately alleged voter fraud. She is still alleging fraud and still hasn't conceded to this day. And in the 2018 Florida governor's race, Democrat Andrew Gillum also refused to conceded, and forced a recount. There were seven different federal lawsuits filed over just that election alone.

In both cases, the media cheered on their efforts, and platforms like Youtube, Twitter, and Facebook not only did not censor their claims, but in at least one instance, actively promoted them.

Why do you think neo nazis lost all their power in the 60s and 70s? Hint: it wasnt because they were censored, it was because they were allowed to speak their mind, and people tore their ideas apart. Of course, these corporations only care about control and making money, in that order. If they can control what politics you are allowed to see they are peachy keen.

The Nazis lost all their power because of a huge denazification policy enacted by the Allies.
Prosecution of top Nazi officials, censorship of Nazi propaganda and ideology, showing to the people the crimes that the Nazi committed, forbidding the denial of the Holocaust, teaching in schools at length and with detail the crimes of the Nazi regime, etc...

Sure, if you have a legitimate concern, you should be able to state your case.

Splattering courthouses with frivolous legal diarrhoea in the vain hope some solid chunk floats to the top isn't a good faith effort though.

"We have decided you dont need to hear anything questioning our decision"

"When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar; you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say."

Even if the media is correct, these propagandizing actions should be punished. Let wrong people screech about how wrong they are. Why do you think neo nazis lost all their power in the 60s and 70s? Hint: it wasnt because they were censored, it was because they were allowed to speak their mind, and people tore their ideas apart.

That is so factually incorrect it's mindboggling.
All media was regulated and fake news were punished all over the western hemisphere. That is why nenonazis were a fringe group of nutjobs. The reason they're all over the news today is because greedy "social media" corporations like Facebook, Twitter, the Google mentioned above and others spent over a decade arguing their rights to profit from hate, ethnic cleansing and lies was their right.
The internet will have to accept being regulated, either by themselves or by force. That is how populist fascism has always been defeated.

The "free speech" argument is nonsensical broken arguments. As no one is preventing a person from speaking their opinions when their lies and hate are blocked from being posted on infrastructure owned by other entities.

You are confused. In the US, UK, and many if not most Western nations, the media is unregulated -- except in the case of media using public airwaves.

Did you miss the bit where he talked about the Nazis in the 1960s and 1970s? Denazification took place in Germany, in the 1940s. In the 1970s in the US, the ACLU famously went to court to defend the Nazis right to free speech.

Lies, as usual.
Media was extremely regulated in those countries you mention. This was one of the reasons illegal imports of printed and recorded porn from Nordic countries became a big thing in the 70's.
Regulations is a cornerstone of free speech. Without it, you only have free shouting by the actors able to buy enough noise to drown the truth. The thing Americans, Brits and lots of other western nations are doing right now.
