If arbitrarily banning people for reasons vague or unknown, and the only answer is to apologize for crossing their arbitrary political line, isn't censorship. Then what is it ike?

Framing it in a political lens is just completely handicapped. It shows that you're not coming at this because you're genuinely worried about freedom of speech or expression, but because of your conservative persecution complex.

This is all about money. It's all about making their platforms more advertiser-friendly, no matter who they have to squash to get there. Everyone just let the whole medium become anti-consumer because they were none the wiser. None of the big corps give a forget about liberal views, it's just a facade to add some kind of humanity to a purely profit-driven means. Calling this censorship means nothing because you have literally no legal leg to stand on here, you have no avenues if you want to push for meaningful change.


Here you are grandstanding on a lego forum, preaching to the choir while assuming nobody else gets it. Everyone understands what's loving going on, you're the only one reaching a stuffty conclusion.

Calling the stuff youtube is doing censorship is only going to end up with everyone dismissing you as a conspiracy theorist. There's a better conclusion to reach that isn't partisan.

if it's not censorship then what is it?

They don't ban alt-left forms of media.

They totally do, you just don't hear about it because of confirmation bias. Like Matthew, being a political hack makes it harder for you to grasp the bigger picture, that nobody actually gives a forget about what you think and will happily force you to eat your own stuff and can if it means they can turn a better profit.

Because far left ideology is beneficial to the corporations, they direct people away from relevant problems towards identity politics and leave the corporations alone, which benefits the corporations. Left wing channels that call corporations out are banned or silenced on youtube too.

Well it doesn't benefit them in terms of money because lefty libtards dont spend money

Lefty libtards are ok for the MSM, MSM controls the masses (for now) and the masses cannot learn about the scummy stuff that the corporations do.

Edit: in addition, many of the corporations are sponsors to the MSM, so there's a motive for the MSM to keep going.

Jesus your rhetoric is all over the place. All the rich people are libtards, all the libtards shilling killary on the forum are on soros bucks but they don't spend money or have money. Everything you say falls apart at the slightest pressure of discretion.
