Two days into YouTube's massive material purge - which led to the axing of this very channel - the absurdity just keeps piling up higher and higher:
My entire YouTube channel has been banned for "Hate Speech" today. Instrumental electronic music is "Hate Speech" now, apparently. #YouTube #Censorship #clownworld pic.twitter.com/HrE5BMvDaG— xurious (@xuriousmusic) June 5, 2019
How we want to respond to the purge is something we should think about very carefully. But it is my opinion that, the more the public is affected by YouTube's purge, the more the public is going to push for the government to take action against big tech (whether for monopolistic practices or otherwise), which could create the conditions for a rival to appear that offers a better and much less politically-motivated platform.
If you are following the argument: the more angry people there are who have had something taken away from them by YouTube's new policy, the larger the number of people there is going to be who are willing to leave YouTube, giving a hypothetical, newly-emerging competitor a shake at capturing part of YouTube's market.
Taking a look at YouTube's new terms of service (update 5th of June, 2019), there is plenty of room to begin flagging content that ordinary YouTube viewers are going to get angry about disappearing:
In the coming days, I am going to compile a list of material that could be found on any random user's playlist which could be flagged for removal from YouTube based on YouTube's new policy.
