YouTube lays a hammer on hate speech. Everyone suffers. |
Speak of that, I would love for YouTube to get rid of Joey Salads, videos with the word NIGGER in it, anything related to Chimpout or Niggermania.
YouTube is taking a tougher stance on hate speech against public figures, creators and using its platform. This will affect everyone.
Vox senior editor Carlos Maza is an openly gay man who is a frequent commentator on its YouTube channel. He does the creative and entertaining Strikethough series. He often takes aim at Fox News and one particular Sean "Softball" Hannity for promoting falsehoods and propaganda masquerading as news.
Enter his longtime rival, Steven Crowder. Crowder is an Canadian-American comedian, commentator and far-white agitator who has a series of videos on BlazeTV (formerly LevinTV and The Blaze). He was the guy who showed a video of him getting punched in the face by a teamster after he tripped him in an attempt to undermine the Michigan and Wisconsin union bargaining laws that former governors Scott Walker and Rick Snyder signed.
Two controversial agitators feud has forced YouTube to look at how they promote videos in regards to hate speech. |
Crowder triggered an ongoing feud with Maza. He was frequently calling the agitator a "fairy" and "lipsy queer." Maza is a Hispanic man was often targeted by Crowder as a "Mexican gay guy" and said that he would love to see the agitator knocked the fuck out.
Maza took his concerns to YouTube. At first, YouTube didn't act on it rationally. They dismissed it as commentary within its rights. They also said that Maza didn't have enough "proof' to warrant a flag.
Maza decided to do the work. He put up all the most recent and past videos of Crowder. Some of Crowder's works were controversial and very demeaning towards individuals. YouTube decided to pull the videos in question.
Crowder struck back by listing all the progressive agitators who put videos demeaning conservatives, Donald J. Trump and promoting violence against individuals who support conservatism.
So YouTube was forced to take up the issue in a full-fledge strike.
Instead of giving warnings, YouTube will immediately terminate its AdSense partnerships with anyone who posts any videos or commentary that is deemed "hate speech."
Crowder had temporarily lost his ad revenue and was forced to tone down his commentaries.
YouTube banned videos of creators brandishing a weapon (not using it in hunting or training), posting suicide videos, posting terrorist recruitment videos, making any bigotry videos that promote anti-Islam, anti-Jewish, anti-Black, anti-immigrant, anti-LGBTQ, and far-out conspiracy theories that place individuals lives in danger.
