To err is human, or at least that’s what they say. But the question is, how come that Internet behemoths like Google/YouTube, Facebook and Twitter always make ‘mistakes’ when it comes to their right wing users, Donald Trump (whose Twitter account was ‘deleted’ by mistake recently) included? This question has an obvious and not very politically correct answer, but I’ll let you sort it out on your own. Today we learned that Google owned YouTube ‘accidentally’ deleted a number of conservative/right wing channels and/or videos, following the Florida high-school massacre. Obviously, Google claims it was done by mistake, but all the content in question was made by “the right side of the force”, which begs the question already mentioned in the first paragraph.
Here’s from the Bloomberg piece:
‘YouTube’s new moderators, brought in to spot fake, misleading and extreme videos, stumbled in one of their first major tests, mistakenly removing some clips and channels in the midst of a nationwide debate on gun control. The Google division said in December it would assign more than 10,000 people to moderate content after a year of scandals over fake and inappropriate content on the world’s largest video site. In the wake of the Feb. 14 school shooting in Parkland, Florida, some YouTube moderators mistakenly removed several videos and some channels from right-wing, pro-gun video producers and outlets.’

A “mistake”......................
Har har de har har har!!!!!!!!!
(Now tell us another one.)
That’s what CNN calls an outright lie. A “mistake”.
Google hired 10,000 little Nazis?
Jerome Corsi was also a mistake.
The Southern Poverty Law Center is helping moderate YouTube, flagging content they find offensive. Yes, that SPLC.
Too much doubleplus ungood badthink for the Ministry of Truth.
I would ask how they had right-wing sites identified in such a way that they could even HAVE this “accident”. What have they got, a logical check-box labeled “conservative”??
Hypocrite bastards.
Ooopsie! Are our faces red!
Liberals claim they love the first amendment and free speech - but then are outraged to find out that not everyone agrees with them.
So they must be shut down.

YouTube are a bunch of Fascists! People need to set up a different platform for free speech video!
This was done intentionally, with full knowledge and awareness.
I guess they are using a page from the Obama/Lois Lerner playbook...
This morning, some of my favorite conservative Twitter accounts had been shut down.
