- WrtCdEvrydy 6y agoHoly shit, it's true.
- fermienrico 6y agoSame, I went on some video that has very few views and it is a blanket, Youtube-wide censor. This is gonna backfire so hard, Streisand effect is coming. I tried 共匪 and 共.匪, both got deleted.
- torrance 6y agoDeleted for me too. Wow.
- johnchristopher 6y agoSo, are the people commenting 共匪 flagged at Google, now ?
- elliekelly 6y agoIt looks like Google translate doesn’t offer suggested synonyms/related words for that term either. It translate the word to “gangster”.
- oefrha 6y agoGoogle Translate to/from Chinese is often terrible, especially with short phrases. Try 剿匪 which means busting gangs/bandits (剿 = bust, so this phrase is an action against bandits). However, Google translates it to “bandit”.
- snapetom 6y agoJust tried it on a video about WHO and Bruce Alyward. It's still up after 6 minutes. Either we're inundating their censor bot, it's been shadowbanned, or Google has stopped under the flak. I'll keep checking later.
- Mizza 6y agoTry looking at your comment in an Incognito window and sort by new. You'll still see your own comment if you're logged in, but you won't see it otherwise. I just tried this.
- mimi89999 6y agoIsn't that shadowbanning?
- snapetom 6y agoIt's still up after two hours: https://imgur.com/a/9x0Yvyc https://imgur.com/a/9x0Yvyc I just tested it via two methods: 1) VPN'ed into work with Firefox in Private Mode (I posted from Brave) 2) Had a friend test it. He's on Chrome from a different city.
- dheerajvs 6y agoMy comment with "共匪" on the Tank Man video [1] was deleted within minutes. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeFzeNAHEhU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeFzeNAHEhU
- shadowgovt 6y agoMine's been up for [edit: an hour]; make of that what you will.
- jansan 6y agoYou must have excellent karma. Mine was deleted after ten seconds. I simply wrote: "Just testing if comments containing 共匪 will be deleted" to a Rick and Morty video.
- jiggawatts 6y agoNotably, there are a lot of YouTube videos and playlists that contain 共匪 in the title. So they're not banning it in every text field, just comments.
