I think at this point we can just expect this stuff. The ridiculousness of it, though. The rekieta law stream (which is fantastic , btw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7YXd2M5E-8 ) has anywhere from 4-12 active lawyers giving commentary and context to everything that is happening. This is exactly the type of thing we dreamed about when we were first creating the internet. However: often times these smaller independ…

>This is exactly the type of thing we dreamed about when we were first creating the internet. Yeah, remember this one? "The net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it." How far we have come...

Yes I remember this one! Information wants to be free.

Yes its like they are shaping reality and attempting to cause social unrest. What the ultimate aim of such a narrative is I am unsure? Just keep people divided? Get more viewers who are "outraged"? Dystopic

Violence sells.

It's more than that. Violence destabilizes and diminishes power in those fighting. Thus granting the illusion of increased power to those pulling the strings. Evil stuff.

Well he did the Kenosha Hat trick Shot a wifebeater, a pedo, and a burglar. To not make it inflammatory I will use this reference [1] "For example, yes, at age 19, Rosenbaum was sentenced to prison for sexually abusing five children — all boys between the ages of 9 and 11 — in Arizona’s Pima County in early 2002, according to his case file obtained via a public records request by Snopes." "Huber, who was 18 years old…

This comment is disrespectful of the dead and should be removed.

It is all on court documents.

> It's sad. In reality, there has never been much tolerance for free speech. This has been the norm for all of human history. It has also been the norm that people with non-controversial thoughts have believed they had freedom of speech. It’s only once you finally happen to have a thought that isn’t tolerable by those in power that you realize there was never any freedom from the beginning. Is that sad? It’s an incre…

The world is a happy place, we need to limit the collectives sad and bad times. It's easier said than done. We will rebuild and the freedom of speech will be amplified in the years to come. Truth, Freedom, and Love.

Can we get over the notion that foreign state interference is not a thing in our media? There, you have your culprit; outside of other national interests whom social unrest and division benefits. They play both sides, same as the admen. Suddenly, what is happening and why is crystal clear.

Foreign state interference is the story the media has decided to go with. It shields corporate powers and provides a scapegoat. Having an external entity seen as causing this threat plays into our fears.

The truth is corporate interests have over taken and reshaped the news and media properties they vertically own.

Does it worry you that your news promotes a culture filtered through corporate interests? Do you remember the last news story on corporate interests altering the news? You won't get that news story.. because no one wants you to think that is an issue.

They want you to be scared of foreign entities but ignore the killer sitting beside you.

Do you really think your father is a horrible person because some of the ideas in his head might be wrong, or come from a different set of values than you? Are all of your own views self-consistent? Have you ever come to a conclusion, and later changed your views after thinking further or getting new evidence, or from discussing them further? I also find myself disagreeing with my father's politics often. I do compar…

Yes, of course. He constantly lies to hide his real political opinions: He obviously fights for women to succeed, he favors my sisters every time he can, he’s a staunch feminist, but he doesn’t want to lose his son. He puts a visible fat thumb on the balance in favor of women, and he’s surprised that I point out his fat thumb resting on the balance. It’s sad, I’m sad, he’s sad, but he keeps doing it, and doesn’t want…

Thanks for your story, I try not to use "generations" anymore. People are too complicated for that chaotically broken system created by media companies. I never fit any generational trope and I really don't know anyone who has.

I don't think we lost, I think some people have cognative bias and feminism has been hijacked in recent years by "Social Marxists" and mutated the original cause. When a person build's their cognition on a false premise a dysfunctional cognitive bias is formed. The individual will need to grow out of it themself, but it's hard to do because it requires breaking a bit of ones ego and facing ones shadow.

If you want to talk more hit me up, links in profile.

Considering the streams are back up, this seems more like a failure of automation and reporting tools than a grand conspiracy.

It is always the algorithm to blame, never the people who wrote it, audited it, etc.

What do you expect? It's not possible to write an algorithm that will not have misfires at the scale of YouTube, if it's not an intentional effort then I fail to see what the big deal is.

It's not even just that. Earlier this year, the White House admitted it had a line to Facebook and presumably other social media companies so that it could tell it which stories to censor.

Citation, please. First I'm hearing about this.

Jen Psaki said in a press conference that the executive branch is working with Facebook to take down posts containing "COVID misinformation".

Never forget that Susan Wojcicki won a free speech award sponsored by YouTube. [0] Never forget it. [0] https://www.newsweek.com/youtube-ceo-susan-wojcicki-gets-fre...

Genuinely, who cares about the award? I don't think anyone will assume that YouTube abides by free speech just because their CEO won an award no one's ever heard about.

I think GP is pointing it out because of how patently ridiculous it is, not as an example of how they abide free speech.

That situation is the obama-gives-obama-a-medal meme.
