"The Intercept's Glenn Greenwald cited Fischer's case as a prime example of why actions like YouTube's purge are always destined to hurt those who don't deserve it." Thank you

“[My videos] are entirely for the sake of history and news purposes, stated Fischer, “They’ve been used in a couple of dozen documentaries. This is not meant as propaganda for any given side, this is for history and news’ sake.”https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2019/06/06/ford-fischer-youtube-censorship-corrupts-the-historical-record/ …

YouTube's decision "pulled the rug out from my income, my entire livelihood," Fischer wrote... "While unpleasant, this documentation is essential research for history." Thanks for writing this

Ryan BroderickVerified account @broderickWith every update, tweak, and clarification that YouTube has pushed out in the last 48 hours, they drive more harassment and vitriol against LGBT creators. They have turned what should have been a clear policy rollout into a fiasco. It's unacceptable. pic.twitter.com/IU2gi4E9lHShow this thread6 replies 29 retweets 108 likesShow this thread -
"The work is meant as raw footage, so people can critique and analyze the tactics and things being said," Fischer said. "...yesterday was a huge swing wiping out the remaining element of my Youtube income." Thanks

Thank you

Dear
@TeamYouTube Tomorrow night I’m covering the “Dyke March” in Washington DC. If someone says something vulgar or demeaning to the LGBT activists, I would include that in my video. Would I be penalized for exposing such behavior on film? Do you want me to sanitize/ignore?7 replies 15 retweets 80 likesShow this thread
