As you are aware there has been a lot of issues with YouTube censorship. Censorship became an issue when Pizza-gate was a fresh topic. YouTube started demonetizing videos, removing videos, and in some cases even shutting down a channel. Now YouTube is taking censorship to the next level.
YouTube is calling it their commitment to fight terror online. According to YouTube’s official blog (link to blog HERE), they will have better detection and faster removal driven by machine learning. They will soon be applying tougher treatment to videos are not illegal but have been flagged by users. Even if these videos don’t violate their policies but contain controversial religious or supremacist content, they will be placed in a limited state. The videos will remain on YouTube but will not be recommended, nor monetized, and will not have features including comments, suggested videos, and likes.
What that means is now when you search what YouTube considers sensitive keywords you will be redirected towards a playlist of curated YouTube videos that directly confront and debunk violent extremist messages. Which means you will not get what you are looking for. Truthers have been using YouTube as a platform for ages, so with them doing this, the truther community will have to look for other platforms. You my friend are already one step ahead because you found us. YouTube can do as they wish, even if it is violating the right to free speech. Here at Truth Beyond Lies, we will not censor the truth.
