Is this known to have happened for any other keyword as well?
I'm not surprised with censorship inside walled gardens, and neither am I surprised with the sneaky way it is being implemented but I really don't see the motivation why Google/YouTube would want to censor this particular phrase.
Could it be that externally-sourced spam filters were manipulated to include it? There must be more to this story.
If I were the Chief Censor of YouTube I would first of all ban "TikTok."
- thedudeabides5 6y agoWould think the most plausible reason for banning the phrase 共匪 on YouTube would be to appease the CCP. Can anyone with knowledge or context share? Is this equivalent to a slur or just politically charged speech.
- thedudeabides5 6y agoLooks like YouTube is also censoring mentions of the Wumao (internet propaganda wing) 五毛 https://twitter.com/palmerluckey/status/1265077232176775168?s=21 https://twitter.com/palmerluckey/status/1265077232176775168?...
