10,000 Google staff to “moderate” You Tube

17

“Moderate”? More like “police for politically incorrect thoughts.” This is only going to increase the already rampant YouTube censorship of those who dissent from the leftist line. My YouTube account was terminated in September because of a 2014 video entitled, “Al Qaeda and Islamic State flags in London’s tunnels.” The video shows jihadis displaying al Qaeda and Islamic state flags on one of London’s tunnels (see this). So telling the truth gets your account terminated at YouTube.

But you fought back. We fought back. We won. I was and am humbled by your unwavering support. I was thrilled to be reinstated, but remain concerned about others who are suspended and don’t have a large social media presence to deploy. We must consider anti-trust laws or legislation to penalize social media giants who suppress our unalienable rights.

Google and YouTube are not getting better, they’re getting worse. Their monopoly must be broken.

“10,000 Google staff to moderate You Tube,” Sky News, December 5, 2017 (thanks to Tom):

Google says it will have more than 10,000 members of staff monitoring content on YouTube next year.

YouTube has been criticised for failing to adequately safeguard children and for allowing extremist content, including Islamic terror-related and white supremacist videos, to be shared.

Although Google, which is YouTube’s parent company, employs machine learning algorithms to automatically flag videos which may breach its rules, the ultimate decision to remove content is made by humans.

In a statement from YouTube’s chief executive, Susan Wojcicki, the company claimed to have reviewed almost two million videos and removed 150,000 since June.

In August, YouTube was criticised for deleting video evidence relating to potential war crimes in Syria as part of its work to remove terrorist content and propaganda from the platform.

A range of private and public sector organisations suspended their advertisements from YouTube in March amid concerns they were appearing beside inappropriate content….

My benchmark of what is allowed is Colin Flaherty’s videos. Once he is stifled, Truth is dead.

Who are these 10,000? We know Google stopped hiring a certain class of people after they built the company from scratch.

10,000 rabid socialists, muslims and democrats, all intent on proselytizing islam. The only way to stop this, is to stop patronizing all companies that advertise on U toob.

Weren’t there predictions on this site as to us getting to this point, at the point so-called “net neutrality” was instituted, followed by Obama ceding control of the Internet to foreign entities with no value of free speech?

Huh? There is no legitimate evidence to support that whacky assumption.

The man who invented and developed the internet Sir Tim Berners – Lee spoke about this curtailment of the freedom to exchange and discus freely the news of the day on the internet in a speech recently, he does not approve.

I’m no technocrat but perhaps more diversity in provision is an answer, free markets are supreme at this, can we play to our strengths ?

Google has been moderating YouTube content since they first took over. There has to be some other sites that offer the same services as You Tube without the moderating.

I don’t know why all these social sites become so anti-American when it is this country that made it possible. It can only mean one thing – SATAN is controlling these DEMONS.

It’s written in the Bible ya know!

they must be rich…paying for YouTube Red or any other pay service is supporting this abomination of freedom. The ads are really overpowering at this point, forced at every opportunity. It is way past time for competition, they are far too large/powerful. The left has wrecked true American capitalism which only works well in a sane society that operates For the Citizenry rather than against.
