YouTube videos to be censored by groups that don’t see Left-Wing terrorism as a form of hatred or violence
(Natural News) In a move that is sure to anger conservatives and First Amendment advocates across the country, the Google-owned video sharing website YouTube recently announced new plans to censor content that they consider to be promoting “hate speech” or “violent extremism.”
In a recent post on YouTube’s official blog, the company explained that videos could be subject to censorship even if they don’t break any of the existing rules or restrictions. “We’ll soon be applying tougher treatment to videos that aren’t illegal but have been flagged by users as potential violations of our policies on hate speech and violent extremism,” YouTube wrote. “If we find that these videos don’t violate our policies but contain controversial religious or supremacist content, they will be placed in a limited state. The videos will remain on YouTube behind an interstitial, won’t be recommended, won’t be monetized, and won’t have key features including comments, suggested videos, and likes.” (Related: Stay up-to-date with censorship issues at Censored.news)
