The Project Veritas Reddit account was suddenly banned (even though they rarely used it), and Youtube removed all of the long-form video interviews with the Google whistleblower.

Imagine trying to shield your own employees from doxxing and threats of rape and violence from the same set of people that included a gunman that went to investigate Pizzagate by firing a few shouts at a pizza shop, and that is known to like gun ownership a lot. The Reddit account of Project Veritas appeared to have used self promotion per their own screenshot, which is banned on Reddit. Not sure if the ban was prior to the new release or not. https://www.reddit.com/wiki/selfpromotion https://www.reddit.com/wiki/selfpromotion

  I am being harassed. You are receiving blowback. They are discovering freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences. This is of course the same company that fired an employee when other employees threatened him enough for him to stay home. Damore.

    At some point the argument has confused 'freedom of speech' with 'right to reach'. The right to reach hundreds of millions of people that use private social platforms isn't remotely the same as freedom of speech.

      Sure, but content creators are also waking up to said "private platform"'s true colors as essentially a hostile landlord, and are taking steps to move to other platforms and revenue streams.

  They were nowhere near that proactive about deleting the account of the person who ACTUALLY shot up Youtube (I know because I watched some of the content days after the shooting...most of it was bizarre or just outright low-quality nonsense). Maybe that's because said shooter was: female, minority, immigrant, and vegan. Definitely doesn't fit the stereotype of a threat, if you live/work in an SV echo chamber. https://www.celebgossiptoday.com/2018/04/04/watch-videos-from-nasim-aghdams-now-deleted-youtube-channel/ https://www.celebgossiptoday.com/2018/04/04/watch-videos-fro...
