      More than 24 hours after first communicating about the Crowder situation on Twitter, in a reply to @gaywonk, YouTube has published its first real, thorough explanation of its reasoning, from comms head Chris Dale. https://www.theverge.com/2019/6/6/18654604/youtube-policy-change-harassment-maza-crowder … pic.twitter.com/dYIagOxouV

      What value does @YouTube think racist and homophobic epithets add to the platform? What possible rationale can it have for carving out an exception for epithets? Who does that kind of speech benefit?

      That is an excellent point against free speech being 100% untethered (which is why things like libel laws exist), but Crowder using offensive insults isn't suppressing speech so that doesn't apply to the current scenario.

      Crowder uses homophobic remarks and other non-constructive rhetoric methods to try to silence Maza. If you don't think that this is his intention, you (and Google/Youtube) should at least be honest enough and not claim to support LGBTI issues.

      The two parts of the last sentence you wrote aren't mutually exclusive (you can disagree with that assessment and still support LGBT+), and you are being non-constructive with your rhetoric in assuming me as dishonest (which is ironic), but ignoring that...[1/2]

      Crowder belittling his opponent is clearly an attempt to undermine the position of said opponent to make the position seem foolish. That isn't silence, that's clearly just using slimy tactics to make the position sound like it holds less merit [2/2].

      I see what you mean, but couldn’t constantly undermining someone when discussing their viewpoints be seen as an attempt to silence them?

      In a real world setting where Crowder stops Maza point by point to mock him sure, in the same way that repeated heckling in a comedy club could be an attempt to silence the comedian, but both people are able to continue their work in different spaces so I don't see it as silence.

      When you keep heckling, security kicks you out. The government can’t jail crowder for his beliefs that doesn’t mean @TeamYouTube ,a private company, has to give him a platform. Whites seem to be under the impression that black/brown and queer people need to debate their validity.

          What's the point of your message? Since you @'d me, I assume you're saying this to me but you're arguing against your own strawmen because I said nothing about the government, private companies, YouTube, whites, blacks, browns, queers, or debates of validity. [1/2]

          As for the heckler thing, I agree they'd kick you out, but you either didn't recognize the part where I was saying in-person stuff (i.e. heckling) is different from Crowder & Maza still being able to make videos, or you disagree with it, but otherwise nothing you said refutes me.
