You Tube appears to be selectively censoring one type of video over another. Although the 2 examples given below are both essentially talking about the same thing one has been sandboxed and the other is freely available to watch, share and embed wherever one may choose.

Both of these videos are controversial. Each one states that their respective cultures are intellectually superior to others. Neither fall into the category of promoting hate speech, violence or inciting hatred against individuals or groups based on certain attributes. Nor do they intend to recruit for terrorist organizations, incite violence, celebrate terrorist attacks, or otherwise promote acts of terrorism. Both videos are wrong in my opinion but that doesn't mean to say that either of them should be censored. Especially one over the other. As Julian Assange put it earlier today both videos are "peddling their vulgar IQ supremacy auto-fellations."

Below are 2 videos from diametrically opposed academics talking about cultural differences in intellectual superiority. Both these videos have extreme views and have been given as examples of how You Tube have selectively censored one video over the other. The first example is the heavily censored, sandboxed video by Jared Taylor, a white nationalist and supremacist author, called 'Race Differences in Intelligence' and the other which hasn't been censored is from Steven Pinker, a self proclaimed cultural jew, called 'Jews, Genes and Intelligence'.

Video 1

The first thing you'll notice when clicking play on this video is you get a message saying you can watch this video here.

When you do click through to watch the video on You Tube you get a further message warning you that the content is inappropriate or offensive.

Finally when you get to the video you'll notice that all the normal functions you are familiar with on You Tube videos have been disabled.

Video 2

Here is the video by Steven Pinker talking about the same subject but from a different view point. You'll notice that you're able to watch it embedded into this post without the need to click through any warnings to watch it on You Tube. If you do click through to You Tube you'll also notice none of the video features are disabled.

Here is a paragraph from a Wikipeadia page giving you a bit of background on You Tubes recent clamp down on non-adverting friendly content.

Censorship of YouTube - Wikipedia

In March 2017, a number of major advertisers and prominent companies began to pull their advertising campaigns from YouTube, over concerns that their ads were appearing on objectionable and/or extremist content, in what the YouTube community began referring to as a 'boycott'.[9][10] YouTube personality PewDiePie described these boycotts as an "adpocalypse", noting that his video revenue had fallen to the point that he was generating more revenue from YouTube Red subscription profit sharing (which is divided based on views by subscribers) than advertising.[11] On April 6, 2017, YouTube announced planned changes to its Partner Program, restricting new membership to vetted channels with a total of at least 10,000 video views. YouTube stated that the changes were made in order to "ensure revenue only flows to creators who are playing by the rules"

In their community guidelines they say they have review teams that determine if a video is borderline under their policies or not. I'm sure we would like to know who are these review teams, and why are they making decisions for us on what we can and cannot watch.

I personally don't agree with either of the videos and whether you agree with them or not is not the issue. The reason for this post is merely to point out the blatant one sided censorship going on at You Tube. I know these videos have pretty extreme views and some of you may think censorship of this nature is warranted, but this kind of censorship is how ultimate control of the masses starts. Before you know it the only thing left on You Tube will be fluffy cat videos and cooking tutorials.

So what are the alternatives?

Over the last few years there have been various alternatives to You Tube. Below I shall give you a brief description of each platform.

Vimeo is a video-sharing website in which users can upload, share and view videos. It was the first video sharing site to support high-definition video (started in October 2007). Vimeo was founded in November 2004 by Jake Lodwick and Zach Klein.

BitChute is powered by WebTorrent. WebTorrent is an independent project started by Feross Aboukhadijeh in October 2013 and is the first torrent client that works in the browser. YEP, THAT'S RIGHT. THE BROWSER. I cannot overstate the importance of WebTorrent. The Internet is full of centralized monsters and WebTorrent is the magical sword we will use to slay them.

Vidme is a video hosting service that was launched to the public in 2014. It has been self-described as a hybrid between video hosting website YouTube and social network Reddit.

So there we have it some You Tube alternatives that will hopefully allow you to bypass some of their ever encroaching Orwellian censorship. I can't imaging You Tube are going to back track on any of their censorship decisions and in fact they'll only probably get even worse so if we want to live in a freer society then we should all start to think about moving to other platforms.
