      BREAKING: @YouTube wipes out the entire video archive of Pulitzer-winning journalist Chris Hedges — including his interviews with me about my illegal @Chevron prosecution and detention. Censorship by Big Tech is the greatest threat to Free Speech today. https://scheerpost.com/2022/03/28/hedges-on-being-disappeared/ …

      It seems like a really bad idea to discuss this without even mentioning anyplace that the videos were removed from YouTube because the account containing them was banned, and that the account in question belonged to Russian state media organization RT.

      Yeah, Hedges’ post is either disingenuous or uninformed. He makes it sound like he was personally targeted for his content, and nonsensically, that his content was so unobjectionable that it’s incongruous it was “disappeared.”

      Censorship based on the logic of nationalism and executed by giant corporations is something everyone should disapprove of.

      Okay, but let’s have that conversation honestly instead of pretending this was a double secret YouTube cancellation of Chris Hedges.

      The fact that Hedges is mischaracterizing what happened so wildly makes me doubt (yet again) that he’s a serious and honest interlocutor.

      Do you honestly think it's a good thing that his show has been removed from YouTube?

      "they didn't erase his show, they erased an entire network that INCLUDED the whole archive of his show" is such goofy hair-splitting. RT America has churned out tons of garbage, but wiping out over a decade's worth of content - even from an often awful network - is concerning

      Oh, for fuck's sake. Nothing has been "wiped out", YouTube has merely declined to allow the Kremlin an account on their service. All the videos still exist. Social media operators delisting the complete accounts of bad actors who also post many anodyne things is totally normal.

      Or maybe it had nothing to do with sanctions and YouTube decided to enforce the rules consistently. Given that ordinary users get their YT accounts terminated for spreading QAnon or ivermectin myths, it’s hard to argue that a firehose of disinformation like RT deserves to stay.

      I think 2 minutes on Youtube would find lots of disinformation, so there is no consistent rules applied.

          It’s a fallacy to say RT deserves a pass until YT completely conquers disinformation.

          RT is being targeted not because it's disinformation but because it's owned by a government hostile to USA. I think there's value in knowing what a foreign government thinks and wartime constriction of free speech has a very bad history.

          "They are not completely effective in policing their users so it's illegitimate for them to do any policing of their users" is a completely insane position that you do not sincerely believe in.
