From the article, it seems like they stopped public sharing of the video via Google Drive:
> In an article reporting on the takedown, The Washington Post’s Silicon Valley Correspondent Elizabeth Dwoskin complains that after the coronavirus documentary Plandemic was censored on social media, some YouTube clips were telling users how to access “banned footage” from the documentary via Google Drive.
> She then notes that after The Washington Post contacted Google, Google Drive took down a file featuring the trailer for the Plandemic documentary.
- pnako 6y agoSo "journalists" are now colluding with platforms to censor information. Brave new world.
- AaronFriel 6y agoNot collusion, not "journalists". I imagine it went something like this: Journalist: Hey, can I get a comment on this video, "Plandemic", being distributed on Google Drive? Google employee: No comment. And then Google employee sends a message to another employee and says, "Hey, do we need to do something about this? It looks like that video we took down off YouTube for violating our ToS is being hosted elsewhere." Is it collusion every time a journalist asks someone to comment on a thing happening, and that someone then responds in some way beyond just saying "Yep that's a thing!"
- pnako 6y agoIt's like sending a picture of your neighbor's garden to the police, "asking for clarification" about what is permitted. You can do that, but at least call it what it is.
