      I’m assuming it will be made permanent.

    Last year, Rolling Stone reported dozens of videos that were “flagrant” policy violations being monetized on the platform, with one research firm accusing YouTube of “cashing in on misogyny, racism, and targeted harassment.”

    Which comes as no surprise.

      Meanwhile they demonetized videos from Veritasium and Rose Anvil because they had the audacity to post factual history lessons about World War II.

    Pretty regularly, they catch fertility doctors performing eugenics based procedures without patient consent. Like with shocking regularity.

    Also, it isn’t super uncommon for male fertility doctors to substitute their own semen instead of the correct material that the patient(s) provided.

    Evil people go into these jobs because it gives them the power to push their own agenda without much oversight, and by the time someone can make a claim against them, and is believed by anyone else, they can move on.

          Pretty regularly

          it’s not super uncommon

          Those are statements of frequency. Not one off “it has happened once, or a couple times, in modern history”

                The first book I read about this was Killing the Black Body, which detailed how slave bodies were handled (physically and by society) and then how that progressed into the eugenics movement that is still alive and well today.

                From there it was just noticing it in the news whenever it comes up. Which is why I was hinging my statements on the frequency. I haven’t done any analysis, it just hits the news often enough that I’m disgusted.

                Thanks to Thallamanond and Nathaniel for providing specific sources.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The video that YouTube removed was titled “If Aborting Black Males Isn’t The Solution, What Is?”

    According to YouTube, the removed video violated the platform’s hate speech policy, which prohibits content that promotes violence or hatred against individuals based on protected attributes, including claims that groups or individuals are mentally inferior based on attributes such as race.

    YouTube specifically prohibits ads from running alongside content that discriminates, disparages, or seeks to humiliate an individual or group of people, including on the basis of race.

    It seems likely that Cynthia G will have to remove the remaining videos that were demonetized if the channel plans to reapply for the Partner Program.

    The videos that YouTube demonetized and removed this week were seemingly monetized for more than a year on the platform.

    Last year, Rolling Stone reported dozens of videos that were “flagrant” policy violations being monetized on the platform, with one research firm accusing YouTube of “cashing in on misogyny, racism, and targeted harassment.”


    The original article contains 653 words, the summary contains 163 words. Saved 75%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

      Nah, it’s a psyop. Look at the Kanye types babbling about black genocide because black women use the services slightly more.

      To, you know. Not get trapped into raising a child they can’t afford or don’t want.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
