YouTube Update: Only Certified News Channels Will Be Authorized to Cover the Topic. Video doesn't mention Wuhan virus because that's a trigger word for censorship. I hate this world where tech giants dominate us and decide what we can say.

I'm not insulting content creators by the way. There are some brilliant minds on there. Many of them are literally subject matter experts about a topic(s) or have amazing charisma.

But most of the time, They're doing something not for commercial reasons. Sometimes it's to hone their skills about a topic, or they like to teach, or They're using it as a platform to display their talent or they're using it as volunteer hours, or just to show off.

I too think YouTube is garbage for these policies. I think it's a bit like phase 4 of the MCU, where they essentially say yeh we made so much money we could care less about you any longer.. In fact, from now on, every feature film has to have a SJW theme, and by the way, some of your comic book heroes are undergoing gender transition, and you're a bigot if you say you don't like it.

I really do think it's a case that YouTube thinks it's so dominant and ubiquitous that it can dictate such terms to it's users.
