The censorship is explicit and has been for years. The question is how many people care? Is there enough understanding of how totalitarianism works that enough people realize how dangerous this is? Do people care enough to say NO? Until now, not enough people give a shit. Those of us who have been watching this since the beginning continue to rant and rave, but there are still far too many simply watching HellTube and not caring that they are witnessing censored content. Until that larger group of people begins to care, this shitshow continues.

The censorship described in this video was not explicit. It is hidden in disconnections and technical difficulties,

A bit like the firewall of China works.

They don't use the word "censorship", but the phrase "content moderation" no longer even raises eyebrows, being assumed. Given that "content moderation" is simply a new label on de-facto censorship, I stand by my comment.
