FREESPEECH UNDER ATTACK!!! YouTube now deletes content about Cryptocurrency #YouTubeIsOver

Various consortiums and platforms are doing the utmost to cut down on content about cryptocurrency. In time to come, I envisage more of them will join this train but as it stands, YouTube has made a bold move to take down videos of cryptocurrency influencers on the platform.

The news started spreading on Twitter when Chris Dunn made this tweet about YouTube surreptitiously taking down his videos because it "went against their standards". This wasn't just one video by the way, YouTube took down virtually all his videos and in one fell swoop, stripped a man of his means of livelihood.

These companies make a ton of money off ads and traffic that people bring but because of the centralised and autocratic means od governance, they can do whatever they like with your account and there's nothing you can do about it. I feel really bad for the individuals hurt by this and use them as a point of contact to every other content creator on Youtube out there; they'll come for you soon enough.

The moral of the story is that we should take this as an opportunity to promote Decentralised platforms like @threespeak @dtube and other video content creating platforms on Steem network, as well as those outside the network. I believe that despite being in healthy competition with other platforms like Uptrend and Narrative, the goal is to bring more people out of centralised tyranny and into a world where your content gets blockchained for life.

So let's go out there and bring more people to Steem network; I'll be doing rounds on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter. While Youtube is the first to be attacked, I believe it is only a matter of time before Twitter and Facebook also suffer full frontal assault. Steem on.
