The internet is increasingly getting censored. Boldened by the recent deplatforming of Alex Jones and Donald Trump as well as censorship of news that doesn’t fit their narratives has created a slippery slope. It’s time to take a hardline stance against censorship. If we don’t do it now, future generations will never forgive us.

Future generations won't even know.

Sure they will — they’ll think of us like we do people a few thousand years ago who burned libraries and butchered scholars to enforce orthodoxy from the new empire.

It’s surprisingly hard to destroy all traces, and that was before mass media.

I dont run a YT channel, but "Restrictions: ad suitability," suggests that the video is still available (e.g., via URL), but Google is not recommending it because advertisers don't want to be associated with it because of the corpse in the thumbnail (term?).

Remember, they're just coming after the bad guys like Alex Jones, and they're just trying to stop the spread of dangerous misinformation.

Certain names and phrases have become people's MK-Ultra trigger words. If you want to know what the system is protecting itself against, just watch how people react when confronted with the blacklisted words.

People complain about misinformation and censorship (on Hacker News of all places) but where is it? https://youtu.be/R2EiuAVKFB0 I found the video by searching on YouTube https://m.youtube.com/results?sp=mAEA&search_query=yeonmi+pa... Why exactly is this being upvoted? Give me a break.

The video is available via direct link, as you have demonstrated, but it’s delisted: https://mobile.twitter.com/TKDSayan/status/14658291871267143...

The video is essentially hellbanned.

[edit] It’s listed now if I click back to Park’s account page. Glitch or anti-Streisand maneuver? Impossible to tell.

Future generations won't even know.

Generations near to us probably won't. Hopefully as the cycle of history repeats itself those further from us will see our folly for what it is.

To me, the only hardline stance we can take against censorship is to keep (or return to) the internet decentralized as much as possible. Whenever Facebook or Amazon or Twitter or Youtube start censoring, somebody (who inevitably agrees with this specific instance of censorship) will insist "they're a private company, they can do whatever they want!" And this is absolutely, completely, totally correct and appropriate. What the rest of us have to do is to make sure that another private company can compete with them. The problem is, all of the ISPs that make up the internet backbone are also private companies that can do whatever they want. As soon as they agree to collude to stop routing traffic from, say Parler, the way AWS did when it threatened Twitter - as is their legal right as private organizations - the internet has effectively become a monopoly.

Fortunately, the internet protocols themselves are open, at least until Google takes full control of the internet and classifies the IETF publications.

It’s literally the first thing. I guess this is what censorship looks like, lol.
