That is not upsetting. Article you mentioned proves that YouTube is used as weapon of censorship, denying that is Westsplaining https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westsplaining https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westsplaining

- crazygringo 3y agoFrom the Wikipedia link, "Westsplaining" is about characterizing the situation in Ukraine as a US-Russia great-powers conflict (Russia vs. the West), and how that denies and ignores the role of the Ukrainian people for self-determination. But from your comments, you seem to be interested more in the Russian narrative which similarly denies Ukrainian self-determination. So it actually seems that you yourself are part of the "Westsplaining" problem. In contrast, YouTube is ensuring that Russian disinformation about what's happening in Ukraine isn't crowding out Ukrainian's own voices and testimony. I'm not saying whether YouTube's policies are good or bad, but they certainly are not a version of "Westsplaining". It's the exact opposite, in fact.
