Carlos Maza added,
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?
.@YouTube does not have an anti-harassment or anti-hate speech policy.
It has rules clarifying how to engage in hate speech and harassment with impunity.
.@YouTube has decided that being targeted by racist and homophobic slurs is acceptable as long as its part of a bigger debate.
Essentially telling queer and non-white creators that abuse and harassment is the price you pay for engaging in politics.
Dude, didn't you claim Steven Crowder was a closeted homosexual, who was lying to his wife?
Isn't that homophobic?
I guess @TeamYouTube should ban you, too.
