I'm sure this submission will get flagged off the front page too because "Iranian woman bears arms against YouTube for censorship" doesn't really fit the narrative around here, but here's her page before it's wiped out too. Her YT and Insta have already been nuked. http://www.nasimesabz.com/

> the narrative around here

In my experience, people tend to perceive that to be whatever they don't like, and it varies greatly with the perceiver.

I don't see why this story would get flagged. (Edit: some users are pointing out the don't-give-airtime argument. That's a fair point.)

I have to really wonder if YouTube is actually anti-vegan or if she was filtered for something else.

I watch a vegan channel that Youtube recommended to me quite often, and Im not even vegan.

Based on her page, showing dogs being boiled alive, I think vegan isnt perhaps the best description for that content. A vegan channel is someone showing how to make salads.

This looks like it's going to be an increasingly big problem for the platform giants, as it pertains to their increasingly aggressive speech restrictions. As they ramp those restrictions up, I'd expect the need for security to increase accordingly. A mentally unwell person is likely to feel targeted, oppressed, threatened, harmed, etc. by being silenced. They'll feel isolated and it'll very likely feel like a persona…

As opposed to not filtering out awful content and letting people get radicalized via their platforms?

No justification for her actions, but Google does act as a serf master over the entire internet. It can single handedly decide who succeeds, who fails, and there is no recourse. There is no recourse, no appeal. Some 20 year old dude in Menlo Park decides, and your website, your life, your work, your future, is changed forever. Here's our account: https://www.medgadget.com/google

Why downvoting? We have an honest website since 2004! That's more than 14 years. We do interviews, reviews, conferences reports. Medical technologies: no politics, no controvertial content. All our staff is US and European-based MDs and PhDs, hard working professional people. And starting with Panda update by Google, we can barely survive... Read our account: the story is true and is very honest.

Looks like this is the culprit's website

http://www.nasimesabz.com/index.html

There are links to her (4?) youtube accounts, which have all been terminated. There's a link to her instagram, which has also been terminated, however there is a cached-copy here http://www.pictame.com/tag/yesilnasim

Censorship works fast friend. I've already posted this, but was censored too. You need to showdead in your prefs to see such things.

Of course. I emphasized that I believe it's likely to be a higher than normal rate of mental illness, specifically to preempt the obvious responses I'd get, people will emotionally jump to a conclusion that I'm saying everyone falls into that category.

I personally know a few extreme conspiracy theory prone people, that drift into some pretty terrible areas intellectually (from lizard people to anti-semitism). In one case, the person has gotten progressively worse as the years have gone by, they seem crazy at this point. Their views are now being aggressively silenced/blocked by Facebook. I believe mental illness is a not uncommon context with a lot of people that end up like this person and end up getting silenced by the platforms.
