17,000 YouTube Channels Eradicated for “Hate Speech”

The Google-owned YouTube has held fast to its reign of controlling what those on their platform are allowed to think and do, as it has been divulged that 17,000 YouTube channels have been removed due to them possessing “hate speech” (also known as having a different opinion from their forced narrative).

This amount of takedowns is apparently a drastic increase since the implementation of YouTube’s new hate speech policy in June – this update, specifically said to “prohibit videos that glorify Nazi ideology or deny documented violent events like the Holocaust”, led to the deletion of over 100,000 videos earlier in the year and 500 million comments (double the usual amount).

Through the aid of Google, YouTube supposedly possesses a team of over 10,000 people dedicated to finding and removing videos that violate their policies, with an updated version of their spam detection system resulting in a 50% increase in channel deletions that violated the platform’s spam policies.

Not particularly surprising to those familiar with YouTube’s passion for punishing those that don’t agree with their narrative, YouTube has, on previous occasion, deleted various channels for “hate speech” or seemingly no reason at all.

The platform has apparently even been banning channels daring to cover history, specifically the mentioning of things related to the past events of Germany.

In an attempt to try and validate their censorious actions, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki has mentioned in blog posts the platform’s goal of “openness” yet also allows the censoring of “problematic content” – that more often than not being, content that they themselves personally find problematic.
