YouTube Now Censoring Election News
Alphabet’s YouTube, the largest video provider on the Internet is now censoring election news that counters the narrative that Joe Biden won.
An update on their blog states:
Yesterday was the safe harbor deadline for the U.S. Presidential election and enough states have certified their election results to determine a President-elect. Given that, we will start removing any piece of content uploaded today (or anytime after) that misleads people by alleging that widespread fraud or errors changed the outcome of the 2020 U.S. Presidential election, in line with our approach towards historical U.S. Presidential elections. For example, we will remove videos claiming that a Presidential candidate won the election due to widespread software glitches or counting errors. We will begin enforcing this policy today, and will ramp up in the weeks to come. As always, news coverage and commentary on these issues can remain on our site if there’s sufficient education, documentary, scientific or artistic context.
This is a step beyond the other tech giants Facebook and Twitter, which have reduced reach and traffic to articles that counter the mainstream narrative and add “context” which reinforces that narrative. YouTube used to demonetize politically incorrect opinions. This is outright censorship.
If you’re wondering what the right side is, you can be sure it’s not the one intimidating and silencing people for their political opinions.
Thankfully, there are other options. Rumble.com, Bitchute.com, and others provide alternatives to the fascist YouTube.
