One-sided social-media censorship: YouTube proves the point

“I’d prefer to thank YouTube for making our level,” writes Matt Taibbi at his TK Information web site. The purpose being the one-sided nature of “Democrats’ profitable push for censorship on platforms like Fb, Twitter, and YouTube” of 2020 election denial — since Dems’ the “personal leaders interact in the identical habits.”

That's: “How can declaring the 2020 election illegitimate be prohibited if saying the identical factor about 2016 was and is inspired?”

YouTube made the purpose by demonetizing (forbidding advert income for) Matt Orfalea’s TKNews video flagging Democrats’ in depth 2016 denial.

The video is a pure reality — that's, it merely paperwork that denial with clips of “Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Karine Jean-Pierre, Adam Schiff, Rob Reiner, Tom Arnold, and Chris Hayes, amongst many others” pushing the fantasy that “Russia hacked the election”, i.e. faked vote totals to rob Hillary of her victory.

YouTube says it’s “not appropriate for all advertisers,” which is true of lots of non-suppressed content material. The actual situation is solely that it’s embarrassing, because it exhibits how Democrats set the precedent for denying a brand new president’s legitimacy. (A follow-up video makes the 2016-2020 parallels much more clear.)

A follow-up video confirmed the parallels between the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections.

Dems’ denial then was “precisely the sort of habits we’re now being instructed is so harmful that it requires each censorship and official investigation,” Taibbi (a proud lefty!) rightly notes; although Donald Trump’s “model of election denial was dumber and fewer prone to succeed than that of his opponents. Orfalea’s video exhibits the double normal. We both censor and condemn election denial, or we don’t. You may’t have it each methods, however they certain are attempting.”

UPDATE: Late Thursday, YouTube reversed its demonetization resolution on the preliminary video — however had demonetized the followup one, “ ‘Rigged’ Election Claims | Trump 2020 vs Clinton 2016.”
