Whatever you think of Trump's politics, I think it's safe to say that his time in office has set a series of very bad precedents for the US political process. This is just the latest in that series. I agree that this is the "least worst" choice in the short term, but it fails to address what I think are the core problems with Youtube w.r.t. radicalization and fake news while setting a precedent for blocking political content in the future.
- GordonS 6y agoI fully agree. What YouTube is doing right now is perhaps the "least worst" to deal with radicalisation in the very short term - but if this increasing lie-based polarisation continues unchecked, I genuinely fear for the future of the US. But what can realistically be done while maintaining freedom of speech, and especially when the "leader of the free world" is arguably the main culprit?
