“@YouTube has struggled... appearing to target some educators and reporters by mistake,” reports @LukeBarnes_92 @thinkprogress. “Ford [Fischer’s]... channel had been demonetized as a result of the new rules.”https://thinkprogress.org/conservatives-cry-censorship-after-youtube-rolls-out-new-anti-extremism-policy-806575176ef2/ …
“Ford Fischer, a documentary filmmaker, said he was also affected.
“Within minutes of @YouTube‘s announcement of a new purge it appears they caught my outlet, which documents activism and extremism, in the crossfire,” Fischer wrote Wednesday“ @DailyCallerhttps://dailycaller.com/2019/06/06/youtube-twitter-conservatives-demonetize/ …
Apparently @RubinReport and @scrowder have spoken about me a bit tonight. I missed it apparently.
Will check out and respond whenever their livestream ends.
"My work is raw coverage of activism and extremism that's necessary for critical analysis of big issues, documentaries and news," Fischer, who had over 27,000 followers on YouTube on Thursday night, told ABC News.

"'...my work is about building things for the sake of historical understanding and to provide critical analysis of the very content they were censoring,' Fischer told Forbes."
Thank you @rachsandl at @Forbes for talking to me today about @TeamYouTube.https://www.forbes.com/sites/rachelsandler/2019/06/06/in-searching-for-middle-ground-youtube-angers-everyone/#172f810524b5 …
“Meanwhile, middle-of-the-road reporters like Fischer are caught in the crossfire with their income put on hold because YouTube can’t make up its mind about policing its platform.”https://ijr.com/youtube-faces-backlash-for-demonetizing-conservative-comedian/ …
I’m getting a lot of new followers recently largely because of the @YouTube debacle, and I want to clarify my work:
I’m not “neutral” or “centrist.” My work is objective and raw.
When you film two (or more!) sides of a conflict, raw just means I’m presenting them as they are.
I film without commentary other than tactical/contextual observations. My own opinion is irrelevant in my work. “Neutrality” or “centrist” is proclaiming the equality of both sides. I make no such - or any - proclamation. Not all perspectives are equal. I let the viewer decide.
So tonight, I’m covering the “Dyke March” for example. It’s a pro-LGBT event. Someone may heckle or shout at them. Me filming them and also filming anyone who opposes them isn’t a claim that they’re the same thing. That’s ridiculous. It’s just raw video news.
Tomorrow, I’m covering a “rally against illegal immigration” at the White House. The founder of the Oathkeepers will be present. I’m sure some people will be out to oppose them. I’ll film and speak to both sides. Covering them both in a raw style doesn’t mean they’re the same.
“Independent journalist Ford Fischer, for example, said YouTube just demonetized his entire YouTube channel documenting different kinds of activism and extremism because of Wednesday’s policy update.”

Back to your regularly scheduled bashing of @YouTube until they fix this whole mess.
YouTube’s censorship is arbitrary to the point of seemingly nearly random. It hurts everyone

I’m mentioned in this article, and I know a lot of people hate me for this, but I disagree with it. Which is more plausible: You’ll win by teaming up against the big tech corporation doing the censorship (my idea) or you’ll win by teaming up on one guy?https://www.redstate.com/brandon_morse/2019/06/07/carlos-maza-trying-take-heat-off-dont-let/ …
