Why butcher language like this? Your videos were deleted, you were censored. I get that it’s cute to say you’re ‘adulting’ and got ‘disappeared’ but please stop

- sdoering 5y agoHe did not get censored. Did the US government force YouTube to delete his stuff? I doubt it. It was the (probably algorithmic) decision of a private entity not to provide free hosting and traffic for something they didn't like. Can we please not denigrate real censorship victims because someone felt entitled to YouTube hosting and spreading their stuff? Maybe banned, deplatformed or something like this. But technically (and legally) only government can censor you. At least in my jurisdiction free sprach protection does protect you "only" against the government. They are not allowed to use censorship. A private entity doesn't need to accept you on its platform. To me at least that is quite a difference.
- hnov 5y agoSo if you privatize censorship it ceases to exist?
- sdoering 5y agoNo. If a government censors it is censorship. Regardless if it forces a private entity to do so or does it themselves But me showing someone the door because they state that vaccination causes autism is not censorship. Just as an example. There is a clear distinction between the two.
