Anyone know what the violations were? I feel like this is an instrumental part of the story that is lacking...
- jedimastert 5y agoIt's very probable that no one does. YouTube is under no obligation (at least from a legal or even policy perspective) to disclose it, and it's possible that it was just marked as "bad" and taken down.
- ClumsyPilot 5y agoBut that just means withdrawal of service under false pretences.
- adrr 5y agoI am very curious what the violations were. As far as I know, right wing watch just posted mashups of right wing personalities and news outlets.
- tptacek 5y agoPresumably the violations are in the original videos that RWW posts. It's not enough for Youtube's current processes to post them under a different context that (hopefully) makes it clear that they're false; presumably Youtube's concern is that they're indistinguishable from the originals.
- rbanffy 5y agoThis would be a good point. Maybe adding commentary and context would make those videos more compliant with the platform rules.
- caeril 5y agoYouTube has a history of banning creators for things they do or say outside of their specific platform. (c.f. Stefan Molyneux) My guess is that since RWW has a pretty active doxxing operation running outside of YouTube, they've decided to take action on that basis. Only a guess, though.
- rbanffy 5y agoSo, they were banned from platform A because some censor at A does not like what they do on platform B.
