Youtube is becoming like the old TV without freedom.
So in other words YouTube wants to meddle in the election. Gotcha.
So basically YouTube wants to be a TV station and not a location of content created by the people for the people.
Yet they promote biased one-sided garbage from CNN, CBS, MSNBC, Late Night with Seth Myers, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah et al.….which is REAL “fake news”. What an f‑ing joke!! And we all see though it YouTube!! Don’t mess up a great thing YouTube this BS!! Don’t silence the outlets of truth, just to make more $$$$.
We need it badly. All political campaigns need to be banned from the internet
What a joke!!!
So YouTube is going to lean to the hard left more than normal?
So YouTube and google is willing to fight the lies and bs while Facebook encourages it .….
Good
Cencership and election rigging! There will be Demoncrat doing all they are “curating.” They will only support Demoncrats. Thanks for letting us know that they are now admitting their censorship.
THIS WORLD GETTING SOFT
Define misinformation please
So ban the late night talk show YouTube channels
Why can’t people just be honest? Everybody is paranoid now about “news”. Might as well not watch the “news”. That’s my suggestion to people. Just tune out. You’ll feel much better.
Fox is the biggest fake news organization in the world.All conservative media is made up of lies,pseudo science fused with religion. Its propaganda at the highest form. CNN and MSNBC delivers only the opinion of the corporate world, plus they use their news to deliver agendas that they believe in for example CNN is responsible for getting us involved in this forever war by promoting lies to the American people CNN is also responsible for chump by giving him billions of dollars of free advertising. Msnbc is the same agenda heavy machine as the rest of them. The future is female is the next agenda that is being delivered this agenda is designed to divide the population up by genders we are already divided by race class and religion. The labels CONSERVATIVE and LIBERAL was created in a think tank to divide the population one side pitted against the next. These are the authoritative sources that youtube promotes corporate propaganda machines.
These comments are idiotic. Clamping down on misinformation is not left leaning. That’s a ridiculously ignorant statement. Misinformation comes from both sides. There are right leaning individuals who don’t thrive off of sharing misinformation — they just have a different opinion & that’s fine. But when people use misinformation to get people to think, feel & react in ways they wouldn’t have had they not been misinformed, that’s the issue. No matter what side you’re on. Saying that clamping down on misinformation is left leaning is you actually saying that the right misinforms people more often. Which shouldn’t be ok to you.
Either allow it all or ban it all. There is no middle ground here.
Wall Street Journal owns CNET now, so do not expect anything less than moonbat left bias.
Goofs
Just another way to take away our freedom saying EVERYTHING thats challenging its considered fake news.
And when did this happen in the last election?? If I did I’m not sure it made much of a difference if it did.
Did i hear that right? Is YouTube finally growing some balls?
So now all videos will be one sided for the Left.
So only powerful and wealthy political organizations are allowed to make video commentaries on Youtube. Gotcha 😉
Without removing the main stream media it’s like trying to stay dry while swimming
Bhosadiwalo.. India me kab Fake-news band karoge ? Desh me Kohraam macha diya hai , Google aur Facebook ne milkar !!
The Russians will be pissed…oh, too late I see.
Misinformation: AKA anything that disagrees with their political agenda.
After we got fed with so many lies and we’ve being deceived so many times everyday .. Even through ads for products .. how can we distinguish the truth ? Even after a thorough research about facts , when confronted with the people , they’ll just deny it despite any proof we might bring . I’ve seen reports of some journalists , after conducting research across years , regarding investment frauds with EU money and the mayor , political influenced people and other politicians were mocking the journalists saying : ” What an abberation ? Who , me ? That never happened .. ” I wanted to beat the crap out of them on the spot .
Oh I thought it was Deepakufo 😂🤣damn those notifications 😂🤣
What YT is trying to say is, no conservative views on our platform. Otherwise, CNN would have been booted off YT a long time ago. Shame on u YT. This topic has been beaten to death and many smart people have come to the conclusion censorship is not a good idea. However, YT is essentially guilty of what they are trying to prevent.
Another one of YouTubes schemes to take away our freedom of speech and expression, and silence the right and strip away our freedom. YouTube was once a free platform where anyone can post and say whatever they feel. Regardless of language and political viewpoint. Not anymore. Hopefully new alternative platforms will rise from all this
BS. YOUTUBE is now CHOSING what FakeNews and Misisnformation you see.
YT has kicked off most independent journalists who provide factual information critical about US War crimes.
This video contains FAKE NEWS. There was never any evidence of Russian Gov/Agent making fake videos and social media. 3 US intel Agencies SAID they did but even through multiple court trials and Congressional Inquries there WAS NEVER ANY EVIDENCE of this.
This is the issue. YT, like all US Social Media and media Corporations, now just enforce US Foreign Policy and are actively destroying Press Freedom and Evidence Based Reporting critical of USA.
What!? CNET so you mean it’s not The Rocks people! it’s! Millions!?and millions!? of artificial jabronis!
This was weak and cowardly CNet and Claire Rielly.
YT is destroying Press Freedom and supporting the Crimes of US Gov and you just loyaly pushed this press release out without any critical analysis.
Im not supporting either of you if you won’t stand for Human Rights and the Rights of real Journalists.
So there goes the cool movie deepfakes channels?
1:53 ”The world hasn’t forgotten the 2016 election when Russian agents used YouTube, Facebook and Twitter to actively spread misinformation and saw discord among voters.”
I have yet to see ANY misinformation the Russians spread in 2016. So far haven’t seen any of that. Can anyone show me the misinformation Russia spread in 2016 and how significant that was in sawing discord if at all?
Good. I think tech companies have a responsibility to keep that kind of deliberate deception off their platforms.
They don’t want anybody misleading you but them that’s YouTube policy
YouTube should consentrate on removing crap videos like flat earth, anti vaxers and all that crap before people get even more dumb
traduction : They go bought off by Democrats
We will never get rid of the fake news as long as the media is so one sided. Youtube will get rid what they don’t agree with.
Problem is that YouTube are removing and banning content that doesn’t fit their political views. So its far far from a netural platform and will never be as long as they are allowed to do that.
So yeah if you want left or the right political content they are NOT treated equal.
I’m not a “birther,” but I don’t like the idea of Google arbitrating “facts” and “truth.” I’m with them 100%, however, on banning deep fakes that aren’t clearly stated and for entertainment only.
Freedom of speech should not be applicable without identity verification. If you are afraid to put your name in front of your words then you should keep them to yourself. This is why I think laws against anonymous social media posting and requiring a person be verified before being given the mic are necessary. Combine this with making it a crime to knowingly spread false information on social media and you go along way to protecting the platform for discussion and protecting the speakers from anonymous social groups waging war on anyone who disagrees.
