Can someone let that reporter know that PeerTube and other YouTube alternatives already exist.
Yes there are less viewers comparing to YouTube but at least the content willl be not removed.
Content like that should definitely go on multiple platforms. Ironically the right is much better at this, cause they are used to getting deplatformed.
There is no safety on corporate media. This is why we built the fediverse.
No community guidelines violated
soldiers shooting civilians, including children
I mean, it’s right there. YouTube ain’t LiveLeak.
the post says coverage of. was actual video of the acts shown?
Coverage of the Tienanmen Square Massacre is on YouTube and includes exactly this.
Hell, it’s practically a meme to shout “Nobody in China knows about Tienanmen Square!” at the villainous Lemmy Tankies, precisely because the Chinese government has a policy of taking down media coverage while the US media proudly reproduces it at every opportunity.
Why would YouTube, a company that has repeatedly expressed its commitment to breaking down the barriers of government censorship and oppression, suddenly decide it needs to censor a state-sanctioned massacre of civilians? What would lead us to conclude that the genocide in Gaza should be treated differently than the Tienanmen Square massacre?
I wonder if we could pressure the BBC or PBS into pushing these videos to force Google/Israel to do this even more blatantly.
