YouTube bans allegations of widespread election fraud
Because of course it does:
YouTube announced that from Dec. 9 it will block and remove content that contains statements “alleging widespread fraud or errors changed the outcome of a historical U.S. presidential election.”
The Google-owned firm said that it was because the “safe harbor” deadline on Dec. 8 in the presidential election had passed, claiming that “enough states have certified their election results.”…
“For example, we will remove videos claiming that a presidential candidate won the election due to widespread software glitches or counting errors. We will begin enforcing this policy today, and will ramp up in the weeks to come,” the firm wrote. “As always, news coverage and commentary on these issues can remain on our site if there’s sufficient education, documentary, scientific, or artistic context.” It did not elaborate on the context it requires.
The company then said that it will “guide” people to “authoritative information” provided by corporate news outlets such as ABC, CBS, NBC, or CNN.
That last sentence is bleakly and unintentionally humorous.
And of course four years of fake Russiagate claims were allowed to stand and are still allowed to stand. But that’s because they serve the purposes of the left, and were the “authoritative information” purveyed by those stalwart defenders of truth known as ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN.
I wonder whether YouTube will let coverage of the hearings or the legal proceedings be posted at the site, or whether they’ll block those as well. I also wonder whether they’ll continue to allow viewers to access clips of Tucker Carlson et al. if they are interviewing guests who are speaking about widespread election fraud.
At least much alternative content can still be found on BitChute. The likelihood of any decisive action being taken by Congress in coming years against Facebook, Amazon, or Alphabet (to say nothing of PayPal, Twitter, and the other SV giants increasingly enamored of ideologically-driven censorship) is as low as that of the drastic defunding (state and federal) of colleges and universities, and the necessary (unfortunately) crippling of the teachers’ unions; but, in the absence of such strong measures, the control over information by totalitarian leftists, in concert with corporate America and the permanent administrative state, may, in the future, attain a Soviet (or Chinese) level of tyranny.
The fundamental reason why employees at Google, under Alphabet, think this is legit is mostly because they were raised on the internet. Where depending on who created the blog/forum/network, that is the person with sole dictatorial control over the content. I’m not sure why but maybe because the internet started out as the Wild West, and people had to create barriers and walls to defend their space.
Humanity, at large, got used to an internet culture that is basically based on dominion. Whomever maintains the servers financially or whomever first created the space, controls what is going on, like some kind of colony with a dictator.
This has gotten into the human akash as a legitimate way to do things, but Leftists, as usual, try to take it too far.
This is ironic to me, because humanity lives rent free on Earth, a place they did not build, did not maintain for the most part, and certainly did not repay the Creators for living rent free on. Humans, being given things for free, now create a society where you have to “pay” someone to live.
A certain bit of capitalistic resource unfair distribution going on. The ancient scriptures often had stories of communities living a monastic or God owns everything lifestyle. The people are just the caretakers of it, whatever it is. It is not owned by the community or by a corporate Mayflower charter. It’s not sold or given away by human agreements. God owns it and determines what happens to it. But humans can’t live under this type of economy because of their genetic nature, contaminated at certain degrees, with competition or service to self imperatives.
The best people could arrive at was a flat tax, 10% tithe, on the gains.
This contest between competition or cooperation, between allocating sources based on what the community says vs what god says, is getting a revamp in 2021. Secrets and shadows are going to come out, whether people like it or not. And that’s going to have to be worked on for a very long time after that.
But as humanity has started determining, in aggregate, that the “Dominion” system of life online is no longer operable given the power of big tech, God will provide a sufficient change. Since Earth was made by the gods, and not by humans, after all, this virtual reality universe full of dark and light matrixes.
Dammit Ymarsakar. You write crap, crap, crap, and then, out of nowhere, you write something quite profound:
“This is ironic to me, because humanity lives rent free on Earth, a place they did not build, did not maintain for the most part, and certainly did not repay the Creators for living rent free on. Humans, being given things for free, now create a society where you have to “pay” someone to live.”
Youtube can’t have hard evidence of fraud on its platform like the GA ballot stuffing CCTV video – that would destroy the narrative.
This is the future. Move off Youtube and Twitter. There are now alternatives such as Parler
Of course YouTube will ban information and refer viewers to Pravda. Instagram put a warning on a photo of Trump and Melania respectfully honoring Pearl Harbor remembrances.
I discussed social media censorship earlier this year; Do the Lord Chancellor and the Archbishop Approve?

YouTube turned out to be where the younger males who turned off the mainstream products migrated to.
Obviously this was noticed. It was in danger of becoming the next A.M. Radio.
I just used it myself to link to material antagonistic to the collaborationist media and line.
My guess is also that many who dumped Drudge as he revealed his vindictive pettiness, began using YouTube much more intensively; and no doubt that was noticed too.
I’m not certain that there is any conservative website or aggregator that is as committed to accuracy and real information, as they are click baiting for revenue – as many here have pointed out.
This needs working on ….
Well, I guess the first thing to do is to check out the competition.

Some on-line reports are correct … Rumble’s stock of cat videos is being augmented by political reports.
Speak of the devil …
Neo’s favorite Vivafrei talking YouTube censorship

This is simple capitalism at work. I don’t use social media, I don’t frequent YouTube unless out of convenience and choice, and I refuse to watch television or consume legacy media. They are dodos, as far as I’m concerned, already extinct but too stupid to understand how they need to change in order to survive.
When enough people feel this way, competitors will see viable markets. If you are feeling oppressed by the evil titans, stop using them. If it makes you feel better, tell them all to “F*ck off, f*ck right off!”. But all you really need to do is just stop using them. Deny The Click. That’s your leverage. They are all competing for your attention. Attending elsewhere is your choice.
Cutting off usage won’t work. If it did, MSNBC and CNN would long ago have ceased to exist. Nor will alternatives like Parler be allowed to thrive. ‘Fake’ information is not allowed to corrupt the public’s mind. Already demonstrated by Google, Facebook and Twitter. Now Youtube has put its foot down.
How long till conservative news and opinion outlets on the internet are strangled? This election has placed the Left’s writing clearly upon the wall. Imagining anything other than they’re just getting started is whistling past the graveyard.

Geoffrey Britain,
I wrote some comments on this on a prior post, and I don’t believe you replied, but your position does not make sense and it is not borne out by the facts. Of course drying up their funds will work. It has already had impact. Look what moving online has done to newspapers and journalism.
We’re just getting started.
Personally, I believe that “we” are and were a majority.
But in every corner of society the people who hate us are violating social norms and saying “So? What are you gonna do about it?”
“The company then said that it will “guide” people to “authoritative information” provided by corporate news outlets such as ABC, CBS, NBC, or CNN.”
Well.
OK, then.
AppleBetty:
Nope, whatever Yammer writes there is almost always crap mixed in. It is a feature not a bug, the crap to non-crap ration is just sometimes not as large as usual.
This news does make me begin to consider my personal exit plans from YT, I will admit. At least where certain types of subjects are concerned, I’m definitely going to start looking for alternative venues. I’ve never posted anything on YT – don’t even know how, though I realize it must be easy as pie. That’s okay; I can learn elsewhere when the day comes on which I have anything worth someone else’s time to view. I suppose TPTB are allowing various Bolshevik/Islamist dreck to stand unmolested, yes?
But you see, what would be required for something like Brilliant Classics to move to a different provider? That would be my kind of question. As far as something like classical music goes, YT is surely going to remain ideologically neutral for a long time yet. The same idea probably extends to any subject matter that TPTB regard as non-threatening.
I have another comment just quick. I’m watching this interview of Viva Frei with the CEO of Rumble and wondering… this guy is practically a kid. Is he really in any serious way ready for what’s going to come his way?
Further proof, if any were needed…

And it’s looking more and more like “It’s a [Smallwell(?)] World After All”…
https://twitter.com/danielchaitin7/status/1336871488197173248
H/T Ron Coleman twitter feed (both).
(To be sure, Smallwell all along—and his absurd utterances—never passed the smell test so that what’s happening now, as surprising—or unsurprising—as it is, is only the icing on the cake….)
Conclusions:
1. We are beset by Democratic Party corruption (simply because “the party of the working person has gotten away with it for so long…Yes, Joe, talkin’ to you).
2. The MSCM and Info-tech companies really have their work cut out for them now. (But then, given #1 above, they always did, potentially…the only question being at what point would they have to go Full Pravda. To be sure, supporters of Israel have had for a long time now—or should have had—a head’s up” on the depravity of the MSCM…)
Plus…this blast from the (not-so-distant) past may well indicate just why BOTH Biden and Harris had to be on the ticket:

And Classical Music is oppression incarnate.
Or at least the musicians are.
So, sometime soon, it will be “bye-bye Mozart, your racist sexist misogynist white patriarchal privileged genius.”

Money quote:
“There are court cases going on RIGHT NOW that are seeking to determine whether election fraud or errors changed the outcome of the 2020 U.S. Presidential election. Don’t you think the legal system of these United States should be where this decision made and not some website that hosts makeup tutorial videos?”
Section 230 does not protect bad faith decisions. Unfortunately GOP doesn’t seem to care about fraud, wire fraud, theft of honest services fraud, consumer fraud, securities fraud, or misleading advertising. Big Tech adhesion contracts are void if fraudulent. They have extremely deep pockets… so why aren’t there already dozens of cases like those against Big Tobacco, BP, or asbestos? Inquiring minds want to know…
How about small scale fraud? It seems only widespread fraud is unacceptable. A little crime is ok, but not a lot of crime.
