I downvoted you because YouTube made no indication they're censoring anything at the behest of the government. They're also not removing content, just adjust what's recommended.
- Tehnix 8y agoI sorta view actively suppressing information, while not completely removed, as censoring...which YouTube very much does. There’s plenty examples of things that should have been on trending by every possible metric, but never gets there. And I don’t think I’ve ever seen PewDiePie appear in my recommended section, even though he’s the only creator I consume regularly. I have to find him in my notification list, on the site, buried.
- alacombe 8y agoReplace "government" with "Silicon Valley groupthink" and the same argument applies. Meanwhile, Google is happily doing business in China & other oppressive country when I'm absolutely certain they do censor based of government standards.
