I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.


Google has decided to "demonetize" any offering that isn't "ad friendly".

That means (they said) that any channels that are controversial, that tackle any topic like 9-11 or the war in Syria, for example, will not be able to make money through their service. Not only that, but their offerings will be pulled down even though they don't violate any of google's policies. I know of at least one channel that's been affected. Of course, google's "demonetization" policy has been in effect for a few years, but has been extended to offensive language


Quote:

YouTube’s new policy will completely disincentivize YouTubers from discussing politically incorrect topics or expressing controversial opinions because they know they will be punished for doing so. Many YouTubers make a living off their channel and will therefore be walking on eggshells to avoid the company’s stringent new rules.

The new policy bears some hallmarks of the Communist Chinese government’s “social credit score system,” whereby Internet users are punished by private companies and their peers for expressing unpopular views on social media

The timing - before the Nov 2016 election, when the "alt right" might make use of its non-mainstream channels- seems more than coincidental.

Dr Drew, the television personality, lost his CNN contract after expressing concerns about Hillary's health AND her healthcare (He was concerned that some of the medications that she was being given weren't the best or the most effective, but represented 1960s standard of care.) Another questioner of Hillary's health, HuffPo contributor David Seaman was fired for questioning Hillary's health.

Wow, that Hillary machine sure is sensitive about her health!

Of course, you will not find coverage of that on CNN, NYT, HuffPo, The Nation, or any of the either conservative or liberal mainstream press!

And, if you would like to set up an alternate exchange site, just be aware that Kim Dotcom's home in NEW ZEALAND was raided by a SWAT team, who detained not only Kim Dotcom but also his wife and children, in order to "look for" evidence for a crime that doesn't even exist in the USA (secondary copyright infringement). Kim Dotcom, although he has never lived in or operated in the USA, is under indictment (by the USA) for a crime that doesn't exist (in the USA).

Remember when Trump's supreme court "rejected former President Donald Trump's last remaining challenge of the 2020 presidential election on Monday, denying his request for them to hear his case against the Wisconsin Elections Commission."

Remember when Trump's supreme court "brought a formal end to former President Donald Trump's request to block the release of White House records sought by the Democratic-led congressional panel investigating last year's deadly attack on the Capitol by a mob of his supporters."

Remember? So much losing.
