Angrry.exe™ Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 It seems that for several years the internet has been changing. It is becoming more censored, and many services like YouTube are trying to set some limits. Somewhat fine, but on the other side the internet was a free place. The beauty was that you could express yourself freely regardless of the message transmitted. It looks like it won't be that way anymore. Although I do not agree with the conspiracies and do not agree with the speeches that incite hatred, I think that everyone on the Internet is free to express their ideas. This is the beauty of the internet. Freedom. You can choose what to look for or not. There is nothing on your neck. If X wants to make a clip about the Nazis or about how Romania is ruled by Masons, for my part to make 100. We will laugh, dislike and do cool. But according to Youtube policy, speeches with bad intentions, the promotion of Nazism or discussions about the Holocaust have nothing to do with this platform. „Today, we’re taking another step in our hate speech policy by specifically prohibiting videos alleging that a group is superior in order to justify discrimination, segregation or exclusion based on qualities like age, gender, race, caste, religion, sexual orientation or veteran status,” it said in a blog post. It also prohibits videos that promote violence or hatred against people or groups based on disability, nationality or immigration status as well as „victims of a major violent event and their kin. Youtube updated the policy after being involved in another controversy related to a not too friendly speech. Youtube refused to download a video claiming to be racist and homophobic. In January, they updated the policy for displaying Borderline and Conspiracy videos, so that they no longer appear on recommendations. Not even the ones that talk about the fact that the Earth is flat. I'm wodering why? Do they want to hide the truth? :)) I repeat, the action itself has a good purpose. But the internet and the Youtube are self-censored. I don't want a censored internet. You? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
