RE: YouTube Cracks Down on "Free-Speech" Abuse
The topic you picked to post on is a really tricky one. I mean the action by YouTube is welcome one specially with Russian trolls getting to influence people on both sides and divide the country like never before. Also there are those elements who like to get stardom by making use of the negativity doing rounds. I just hope YouTube does not exercise too much censorship. Peace.
I totally agree. It is definitely a balancing act. Thankfully, they have a resolution board in place; and, many who challenge a strike get their posts reinstated.
Let's face it, somewhere along the way, YouTube became unbridled. It was an "anything goes" platform, where 'unsubstantiated (the-truth-is-coming) entertainment/opinions' was being perp'd as fact.
During the campaign, instead of trolls, I saw divisive reds and blues littering YT with a whole lot of 'info' on both sides. It became a case of the winner being the one with the least-tattered reputation in the court of public opinion.
Best regards.
Peace.
