Let's presume you're right and this is why the channel was legitimately deleted. Was there a warning? Was there some communication with the owner saying "Hey, what you're doing violates or Ts&Cs"? It seems like if there was, the owner would be tweeting that he disagrees with the deletion rather that completely not understanding why it happened. Putting more humans in the loop would be more expensive, but it would hel…

Algorithms don't warn. Nor do they communicate. They just delete.

Algorithms do whatever humans program them to do, which can be delete, warn, email, slack, or call phones.

Watch one "conservative news" video and it will do a complete 180. Ads for "rations", "preparing for the end of the world", "how to be self sustainable", tons of PragerU propaganda, and some of the most low quality l BS you'll ever see from political ads. YouTube delivers content based on what you've watched.

Calling PragerU propaganda is like calling an Western history book written by a religious person contraband. What exact points do you take umbrage with or is this just a signal to your political preference?

Here's a counterpoint for you, regarding the 'war on cars': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7z8Tb7OA_F4

Being studied, not accepted in use in humans for COVID. Blame the idiots injecting themselves with the actual horse versions, and the doctors/vets illigally prescribing it. IVM is as useful as eating dirt in relation to COVID, until proven otherwise with studies that aren't fabricated data or otherwise p-hacked to death - it's disinformation, and rightfully removed.

> IVM is as useful as eating dirt in relation to COVID, until proven otherwise with studies Um. No. IVM is useful or not useful regardless of whether studies have been done. Studies are useful for finding out whether it is useful, but they do not affect the result. If people take it now and then it turns out it's a miracle cure that halts ageing the people taking it now will have benefited. If instead it actually cau…

Just like dirt.

What is Odysee? I'm intrigued because at first glance it seems to be better than YouTube in almost every way possible. Page loads are quick, if you turn off AutoPlay it actually stays off, the controls are actually usable on an iPad etc.

It's a peer-to-peer video client, with part of it's data being directly shared (similarly to torrents) and part via a blockchain. This makes it highly resistant to censorship and thus is where many people are moving their channels to.

Can you self-host it like PeerTube?

What happens if nobody listens to your proofs? What happens if they prefer the lie?

What if only one truth is allowed, and it is wrong or a lie? You are putting all your eggs in one basket.

People have a right to speak, but they don't have a right to have their speech amplified by others. There is no right to broadcast. Mill would agree with this, assuming you could explain to him how broadcast media works, which didn't exist in his time.

Mill wasn’t talking about rights; he was talking about the propensity to suppress unpopular speech, why that’s dangerous, and accordingly, and the moral necessity (and implications) of open discourse.

You said the proof it is a 'hit job by the media' is because the medication is 'being actually studied right now by Oxford Uni'

Which is a reasonable proof. Media shouldn't be shitting on stuff that might work.

Weird this needs to be reiterated in Covid 2021....What do you think "media" should be doing? Remember, media =/= op-ed journalists that you want to have the same opinion as you.

"media" should not have to do anything by anyone's standards. it is a omnipresent, global, ever changing opinion glued transparently to percieved values and morays of the time.

If you click on a link/article that says "X will not work and we do not like it", then that media outfit is doing exactly what it needs to do as a media outfit.

What you’re really asking is “What happens if people do not do what we tell them to do? What happens if they disagree with us?”

Is it appropriate to force people to adhere to your strictures if they won’t do so voluntarily?

It gets filled with all kinds of content, of which racism and other far-right talk is merely the most visible part because it's in the spotlight. But it's not just far right that's getting "deplatformed". Even politically, there are plenty of leftist groups that were wiped out from e.g. Facebook during the recent purges. All those people also have to look for other platforms.

I'm not saying there aren't other valid uses, just that racism is pretty much guaranteed on a no-censorship site. It _should_ be something that we can all agree on as being "bad", even when dressed in its Sunday best from the likes of Jordan Peterson.

When did Jordan Peterson ever discuss race?
