The YouTube shadow ban is bad enough, but to me the even scarier part comes further down the thread:
> A few months ago I uploaded a video about police brutality. It showed explicit acts of violence by the police, and it was understandably age-gated. The video was appropriate only for older audiences, but did not break any of YouTube's terms and conditions.
> That video earned me a visit from the DHS, who asked me about "Anti-American sentiment" in my videos. That was the first time I realized, wow, I guess people really are monitoring what we say and are willing to try to intimidate us, even if what we say is objectively true.
The video in question is, I suspect, this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEVoX-RwMJw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEVoX-RwMJw
To me it's beyond disturbing that this kind of stuff still happens, it's the kind of thing that you'd think went away in the 50's or so.
