That just isn't true. There is zero reason to believe that men as a class have oppressed women as a class . Your ideology is just rebranded communism. Which is itself a lie.

i.e. google is setting themselves up as the multi-national censor and nanny state. I guess we should be glad that Google wasn't founded by militant fundamentalists. Otherwise they would ban mentions of homosexuality, abortion, inter-r

A good chunk of that is duplicate videos. e.g. FTA, many duplicates of this video exist, each of which are ranked higher than the original, and each of which are monetized when the original isn't. There's just no way that Youtube

It's impossible to believe that Youtube blocks this video, but can't tell that the copies are the same video. Which means they have provisions to block a providers video. Not the content of a video. They're happy to pub

That's the real answer. If you spent 1/10 of an engineer on an open source product, and 100 other companies do the same, your company gets much more than it puts in. And because it's open source, you know how to fix it, and

Or, publicly shame them. There's a reason judges impose gag orders which violate people's right to free speech. They're OK with violating peoples constitutional rights to serve their own self interests. Who bells the cat?
