luckily there are alternatives to youtube, and maybe every thing google offers.

People don't want to use those alternatives. They want to cry and bitch about YouTube's censorship. Platforms are more than free to censor. Saidit censors speech too. If you state an unpopular opinion they call you a troll, say you're not following the "pyramid of debate" as their excuse to censor.

    No freedom of expression is being violated. People are free to create their own websites to express themselves. When someone signs up for YouTube they agree to the terms of service. Terms of service states that if you use their platform they can remove content they don't want to promote.

    Of all the ways to confirm popular opinion that authorities are lying to us, censorship is about the best out there. Here we have Izvyestya telling us that Pravda has declared samizdat to be misinformation. For those inside the party, this is their club to hit people with. For those outside the party, it allows us to see which party lies we cannot talk about or they will come after us. One thing is guaranteed, the party always lies.

    Funny, the outlet that really needs to be shut down is the disgusting NYT!

    That's where I do my viewing. Very rarely do I look at anything on youtube.

    bitchute is my favorite. It's the last wild west of video platforms, there is some crazy shit there.

    thats the NYT which means paywall. here are a couple of other links:

    https://www.npr.org/2021/09/29/1041493544/youtube-vaccine-misinformation-ban

    https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/29/youtube-bans-high-profile-anti-vaccine-accounts.html

    or just search it obviously. i love how youtube is the arbiter of 'misleading and inaccurate content'. thats some high irony.

    Here we have the home of Walter Duranty and Judith Miller "reporting" on the activities of DARPAGoogle in the 'thought-shaping' of the population in the best Julius Streicher tradition.

    judith miller lied about WMDs

    This is at the heart of my current stress. I know people who are completely aware of the Judith Miller lies, yet who still use the NYT as their go-to source for news. I simply cannot understand the failure to recognize that Judith Miller was not an outlier; rather she provided a case study for normal news operations in MSM.

    The term gaslighting is on my mind a lot lately. So many "educated" people keep returning again and again and again to the same sources who lie to them again and again and again. The parallels to an abusive relationship are beyond obvious at this point. How to get through to them? I've spent countless fruitless hours trying to figure this out.
