YouTube faces a major scandal and its self-inflicted. The community is outraged over the demonetization policy inflicted by their controversial and wildly popular videos.
I can testify to the bullshit of YouTube. I was once a person who had monetization on my videos.
Now I don't even do YouTube videos anymore and I will continue to do so because of this.
I still watch videos on YouTube but I am watching it with adBlocker and sometimes avoid the videos in general when ads come up.
Alphabet the parent company of Blogger, Google and YouTube is under fire for its AdSense policy egged on by advertisers who boycotted the company for allowing uncensored and controversial themes on its platform.
The "community" of YouTube is pissed about this discussion. Every YouTube contributor, blogger, celebrity, news organization and simple poster is suffering because of this demonetization policy.
Many of the most popular celebrities are speaking out against YouTube.
They are calling this a backdoor censorship.
The controversy of Milo Yiannopoulos is affecting YouTube as well. The former Breitbart contributor and darling of this White extremist movement labeled the alt-right has driven the discourse and now everyone suffers because of it.
In a politically correct world, many controversial issues such as race, gender, sexuality, religion, economic, and political standings are often watched by millions. YouTube Ad Sense would run advertising before the video. After a story from Wall Street Journal and The Times of London broke a story about how YouTube ran videos of terrorism and politics in which controversial issues were discussed. Some of the companies felt that the videos were inappropriate and they didn't want anything to do with it.
This special algorithm flags videos that aren't considered "family friendly". The government want to eliminate terrorist videos from YouTube. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is a strong advocate of pulling videos from the internet that may recruit terrorists.
Creators fear that this new policy could destroy their shows, their revenue and of course YouTube.
Two officers are fired out the cannon after they were caught on camera serving a motorist knuckle style chili.
That squinty eyed bigot Jeff Sessions is trying to dispose of the policies that the Obama administration recommended in regards to police reform.
Sessions is trying to make it easier for cops to get away from criminal charges.
Two Gwinnett County boys were fired out the cannon after a video surfaced of the two serving a motorist a helping of knuckle style chili.
A couple of videos surfaced on social media. The two officers who stopped a motorist for having an expired license and an ounce of weed was served. The motorist had his hands up when one of the officers gave the person a knuckle style chili.
Another video shows the officer and suspect were on the ground. At that point the second officer comes into the picture and serves the motorist a toe jam sandwich.
These actions by former Sgt. Michael Bongiovanni and Master Police officer Robert McDonald could have them seeing the judge. The prosecutor is weighing if these two could face a court trial.
Demetrius Hollins clearly bruised said that he will not speak until he has a lawyer present. He was driving his red Acura Integra on Sugarloaf Parkway when he was pulled over. According to the former cop, Hollins was changing lane without signaling, no license plate and not pulling over upon seeing flashing lights. Hollins did pull over to a safe area.
Bongiovanni said that Hollins was acting strange. He claims to seen weed or smelled it. He ordered Hollins out and he refused (and asked for a supervisor). He wanted to call his mother and that's when Bongiovanni ordered him out. Collins with his hands out was resisting orders. He soon got served.
Hollins struggled for a second but upon the end of the struggle, McDonald comes into frame giving him a toe jam sandwich.
Each of these officers were inappropriate.
The sheriff of the county was so applaud about this. Sheriff Butch Ayers said in a presser that these officers failed at their job. This isn't proper training and the use of force wasn't justified.
Obviously this shit has been going on for years. Maybe this video exposes a tactic that Black motorists knew about the Gwinnett County boys.
I can only imagine that this isn't just one isolated event.
Hollins was charged for possession of less than an ounce of marijuana, obstruction of a police officer, traffic citations for driving on a suspended or revoked license, failure to signal and improper brake lights.
Hollins is innocent until proven in a court of law.
The two officers could appeal their firing through a police union. The police union probably rush to the junk food media to denounce the decision, blame the suspect and call Black Lives Matter a group of unprincipled agitators.
I don't look at the war as a "heroic" theme here. All I see in the act of war is a lot of dead bodies.
Donald J. Trump is breaking promises day by day. He is extremely unprincipled.
His fight on terrorism is certainly winning praise among conservatives. The so-called pro-life crowd are cheering the strike on the Islamic State harboring in Afghanistan.
A GBU-43 missile was dropped on the Islamic State (and innocent human beings) today. It was the largest non-nuclear bomb ever used in combat.
Gen. John W. Nicholson, the commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, said that the bomb was the "right munition" to use against the Islamic State because they use roadside bombs and suicide bombers.
What a pathetic excuse for a callous and brutal attack.
I think the fight against terrorism is failure. We have achieved nothing other than riling up Muslim nations and inspiring worthless propaganda to the enemy.
No telling how many innocent lives were lost in this. Just to stop a group of individuals who want to control their own land.
Shell shocked.
The fuhrer is "very pleased" that the drop happened. He was very proud the military dropped the "mother of all bombs" in Afghanistan.
I thought the Islamic State was focused in Syria and Iraq.
Breakaway factions of al Qaeda and the Taliban created their version but they're fighting on their own land and not here in the United States. It dubbed itself the Islamic State for the Khorosan.
Trump didn't go to Congress to get approval. And of course, conservative roundly mock Barack Obama for being "weak" against terrorism.
I can only imagine that we're going to see retaliation against the United States.
Passenger gets roughed up on United Airlines. It went viral.
I wonder if the passenger was a Black person being ejected, would the junk food media and notably the conservative agitators make light of the situation in favor of the company?
We all heard about the United Airlines fiasco. I really didn't want to bother posting on the controversy because I wasn't interested in this.
But since the controversy grew, the person involved hired a lawyer and the junk food media is quarterbacking on how United Airlines can survive the scandal.
On April 9, David Dao was dragged off the United Airlines Flight 3411 at O'Hara International Airport bound for Louisville.
The flight was overbooked and the crew wanted four seats for airline staff. The plane was sold out.
When no passengers volunteered to exit the flight after being offered $800 in flight vouchers, United staff selected four people to leave. Three did so, but Dao refused to do so. He was pulled from his seat by the Chicago Department of Aviation. He was dragged in the aisle with Dao sustaining a significant concussion, broken teeth, a broken nose and other injuries. The incident was capture on cellphone and it touched off a discussion on how airlines are treating their passengers.
Doa is Asian American and a doctor. He hired a lawyer and is seeking punitive damages.
He is 69 years old and a resident of Elizabethtown, a city located 70 miles from Louisville Metro.
His attorney Tim Demetrio said that facial surgery will repair damages from the encounter.
United at first was defending its actions. The CEO of the company Oscar Munoz made an apology but urged a strong rebuke to the incident. He said that the safety of United staff is very important, inconveniences do happen but this should have been solved without force.
"We continue to express our sincerest apology to Dr. Dao. We cannot stress enough that we remain steadfast in our commitment to make this right. This horrible situation has provided a harsh learning experience from which we will take immediate, concrete action. We have committed to our customers and our employees that we are going to fix what's broken so this never happens again. First, we are committing that United will not ask law enforcement officers to remove passengers from our flights unless it is a matter of safety and security. Second, we've started a thorough review of policies that govern crew movement, incentivizing volunteers in these situations, how we handle oversold situations and an examination of how we partner with airport authorities and local law enforcement. Third, we will fully review and improve our training program to ensure our employees are prepared and empowered to put our customers first. Our values -- not just systems -- will guide everything we do. We'll communicate the results of our review and the actions we will take by April 30. United CEO Oscar Munoz and the company called Dr. Dao on numerous occasions to express our heartfelt and deepest apologies."
Dao is being driven through the mud over allegations of illegal prescription trade for sex.
A man of color was forced off his flight. He gets bloodied and bruised. He is embarrassed by the event. He takes legal action.
Now the junk food media is trying to shame him. United created a P.R. mess.
Regardless of what Dao did in the past, the present matters. We can't judge a man from his past. He was trying to get back to see his family and didn't have to give up his seat. United should have thought about how many people are able to be seated. They should have done better.
Gabriel Sherman says that O'Reilly's vacation isn't planned. It could be a suspension or a cannon firing. Only Fox knows.
The controversial agitator is taking a vacation amidst a scandal. Many figured that this could be the end of the road. The network denies this....but for how long?
Despite the scandal, Bill O'Reilly's ratings have surged.
O'Reilly's ad buys are low. He only managed to pull in less then eight minutes of ad buys. Over 80 companies have severed ties with the conservative agitator.
The bleeding continues and O'Reilly decides to take a vacation. Something seems fishy to me!
Gabriel Sherman writes that James Murdoch, the son of Rupert Murdoch is so pissed he wants O'Reilly gone yesterday. Lachlan Murdoch and papa are cautious about the decision. They want the old fart to stay but watched like a hawk.
O'Reilly hasn't spoken much on the controversy. Although he's been taking his focus on the "unmasking" scandal. This is a Fox News manufactured scandal that is basing unverified claims on Barack Obama and Susan Rice.
O'Reilly is facing an ad boycott after allegations of five women claiming that he sexually harassed them. The folks over at 21st Century Fox paid out $13 million in punitive damages.
O'Reilly who just recently signed a four year deal for $18 million is now facing pressure to quit or be fired out the cannon. So far, Fox News hasn't said much other than he will return on April 24th.
Many conservatives are facing public shaming and boycotts.
On the bright side, you can look at him make that funny ass face.
So far Breitbart, Monica Crowley, Michael Flynn, Milo Yiannopoulos, Tomi Lahren, Sage Steele and now O'Reilly felt the sting. Now it's time to take fight to the remaining agitators in the junk food media who profit off of hate, division and deception.
We need to focus on bringing down Steve Bannon, The Drudge Report, Gateway Pundit, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Mark Levin, Alex Jones, Joseph Paul Watson, Sebastian Gorka, Eric Bolling, Jeanine Pirro, and Sean "Softball" Hannity.
We must fight against hate talk and the relentless bigotry spewed by Donald J. Trump.
If O'Reilly does get fired out the cannon, this would be one of the biggest shocks in the news and entertainment industry.
Columbus Police under fire for an officer kicking a suspect in the face after he was cuffed.
Columbus, Ohio is the largest city in the rust belt state. It has a population of 904,000 residents and is the only city in the state that is growing. And like all cities, the need for law enforcement has grown greatly. The Columbus Police is a uniform outlet of 2,300 employees (1,850 officers and 450 dispatchers/civilian).
Columbus expands into Delaware, Franklin and Fairfield Counties. The center of state business is in the city. Andrew Ginther is the mayor of the city.
Ginther and police chief Kimberley Jacobs are steaming mad over the incident that happened over the weekend. An officer who was just cleared of a controversy is embellished in another one.
The officer Zachary Rosen is in the freezer after he was the person spotted on a video kicking a suspect handcuffed. The officer escaped a murder charge after he and another officer bucked Henry Green in 2016.
This incident happened in north Columbus. The officers responded to a call about a man threatening residents with terroristic threats. Police chased the suspect through the neighborhoods before he was caught.
During that arrest, witness Roiesha Pettiford recorded the arrest. The suspect, Demarko Anderson was on the ground with an officer on top of him. Another officer comes into the video and places a toe jam sandwich in his face.
Anderson screaming in pain was cursing and demanding a police supervisor to respond to.
Anderson was booked in the Franklin County Lockup on aggravated menacing, resisting arrest, obstructing official business, having weapons under disability and possession of controlled substances.
He will face a judge on some of those charges. He is innocent until proven guilty.
The video went viral and now the nation is talking. Social media is lit up about this. And of course, civil rights and social justice warriors are calling for a cannon firing.
The police released a statement somewhat condemning the incident.
Based on what we waw in the video taken on Saturday April 8, 2017, the action taken by one of our officers does not meet the standards by the Columbus Division of Police. It appears to be inconsistent with the values and training we instill in our officers.
The officer self-reported a kick to the suspect while the suspect was in custody.
We'll learn more as the investigation continues and take appropriate actions based on the facts gathered.
The officer has been temporarily reassigned.
Okay, the cop and partner Jason Bare were involved in the shooting of Henry Green, a 23 year old man who the officers believed fired upon them. Green was confronted by the two while they were in plainclothes.
Rosen claims that Green ignored warnings and got into an altercation with him and Bare.
A grand jury declined to indict the officers in the death.
Now this incident could impact his previous encounters where he used deadly force or restraint against a suspect.
