Googles Censorship of Wrong Think

[Big A]

So if you haven't heard or just didn't know Google, the owners of YouTube, have recently decided that videos they don't like will not be monetized. Any content creators that offer opinions or commentary questioning the leftists ideals of social justice espoused by Google are being blacklisted and hidden from view unless you're subscribed to those particular creators.

We're about the see a lot more of this, I think. Large tech companies control the internet and, as such, control the expression of ideas.

I'd say in less than 5 years every piece of information you see on the net will be filtered by AI bots and carefully tailored to present only progressive ideals. All the stupid Twitbook shitheads with their idiot faces buried in their phones all day will eat this shit up like gospel truth.

Not Aiming this at the OP. We often champion individual rights and the right not to be forced to do something we disagree with. I love how people expect companies to allow them to post whatever they want, for free, on their service. It is Google's right to decide how they want to run YouTube and what content they will allow or not allow. There is no "freedom of speech" or 1rst A right to go on someone else's product and say whatever you want to say. That is like saying to a book store "you must carry my book. Not only that, you must put it in the history section with the cover facing out". Google has the right to exercise editorial judgement or even censorship on their own products.

Companies should not be required to host content that they don't want to. Its called freedom.

Hard to call it freedom when a Monopoly controls the methods of dissemination of ideas.

What are you going to do when only progressive ideals are deemed inoffensive and everything else is removed...Create your own internet?

You make jokes...

That's a cute notion that ended decades ago. How many times have we been told that if you are open for business, you can't discriminate? From gender, to race to sex, to sexual orientation, to cakes on demand you have to take all comers. Well not really. As long as you are a protected class or have snowflake status you get your all access pass.

That is were common society lost out. The left got special status for all their groups. Just go ahead and try to keep a SLPC or a BLM out of a content sharing market.

The idea is that they are moving the sticks left and rolling up the other side of the carpet. The start here- and who would be against silencing nazis? Then the next most right thing starts to get the patina of extremism. They want to silence us because their crazy plans don't stand up to reason and logic. Ever wonder why they go full primate poo when Ben Shapiro shows up on campus? The dude is an intellectual wrecking ball to their plans.

Some people are just more equal than others.

I'm not trying to hijack, but everywhere you look the left is making inroads into venues where they can stifle any opposing views. Just look at Fox News. Not that I was a big fan of Fox, but it was the only mainstream news network that was at least friendly to conservatives. Poor Sean Hannity must feel like the last Allied soldier left on the beach at Dunkirk.

Even in our local market, the one AM radio station within 50 miles that played conservative talk radio has been bought out by rumored liberals that in about three weeks will change the radio station's format to Spanish. No more Rush. No more Hannity. No more Savage.

Add to that the attempts to shut up Drudge and other internet sources, and you see a pattern emerging where the left has decided that if they can't win in the forum of public opinion, well then they will just stifle that forum.
