CENSORED BY YOUTUBE: Raw Footage of the Violence at Lee Park, Charlottesville
YouTube is pushing its censorship to the max. My video of raw footage of violence in Charlottesville, which has been used in probably a dozen documentaries and has no incitement or commentary of any kind (it’s literally just raw footage of the fighting I filmed) is now being restricted as an 18+ item. You can see it here (uncensored, of course) on d.tube. Do you think it should be restricted?
This means it won’t show up in suggested videos, and you need to be logged in with an age-verified account to watch. The video is effectively removed from anyone being able to meaningfully watch or organically find it.
Fictional content like vastly more violent clips from “Saving Private Ryan” or “Saw” are easily accessible.
Mainstream portrayals of what happened that day are available (CNN has plenty of talking heads with some press pool two minutes of B-roll repeating next to it). But post raw, up close video of news and don’t tell people what they should think, and YouTube thinks you’re “shocking, sensational” or even “inciting.”
Of course, Youtube's arbitrary decisions like this are largely why I'm transitioning News2Share over to dtube and steemit. See the original description below:
Footage filmed by Ford Fischer shows the "Battle of Lee Park" on Saturday. "Just another day in the park," National Socialist leader Matthew Heimbach said before his "Traditionalist Workers Party" participated in a street skirmish with left-wing counter protesters.
The battle raged on and spanned many different groups until police pushed the "Unite the Right" rally off their designated area. This inflamed the conflict by pushing both sides together. Several were injured. Police appeared not to have conflicted any individual injuries.
