Youtube's "Limited state" is now live.

I don't care about bullstuff race science enough to defend this channel sooooooo

Anybody still pushing race science in *current year* needs to get their skull measured

I don't care about the actual video but the idea that youtube is now locking down video that are "controversial" is setting off alarms; will it only apply to videos like this or will it spread to include more and more topics? Is it going to get bad enough videos berating youtube will get censored?

We've already seen videos on game channels get demonetized and videos that simply have curses in the title be demonetized, so I think it's only a matter of time before stuff hits the fan on hi

under these rules that probably won't happen. there's nothing in the rules that forbids controversial content, but they do prohibit hate speech, and these limited videos are made limited only if they contain extremist/supremacist content that doesn't directly exist to incite violence or hatred. the criteria are relatively narrow

still i definitely agree that youtube's been getting weirder and weirder about policing content and i wish they didn't do as much as they do

Dude if these white supremacists ever got into power they would take away free speech as soon as they can

how little faith do you have in people to think that they'd be ok with white supremacy

yeah thats like <10% of the population

So, it's okay to remove the free speech of others because you're scared that these idiots are going to be voted into power? Do you honestly think that an actual white supremacist is going to be voted into power? Do you honestly think that these people have the support of anyone outside of they're small, almost non-existent groups?

Yeah that's another thing. The reason fringe, extremist viewpoints are seen as fringe and extremist is because people are allowed to engage them in public and destroy them with logic. By removing the ability to downvote and comment on these videos, they're allowing them to exist in a vacuum with no criticism. They'll be pushed to the areas of the internet where white supremacists congregate in echo chambers and become more entrenched in their beliefs. It's not smart. It's not smart whatsoever.

Leisuresuit is a censorship happy handicap so there is no point acknowledging his existence.

I understand what Mathew is trying to do and it's nice that he's at least trying to make a change, but a website like this is judged by it's content. Instead of whining for other people to switch he should be looking for interesting videos on vid.me then making a thread here (people do this for youtube vids all the time).
