    There's no doubt YouTube has the potential to "radicalize" viewers, but angst over this stuff is veering closer and closer to moral panic territory. Sen. Blumenthal complains of videos with "disruptive narratives." Who defines "disruptive"? The US Senate? https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/hateful-conspiracies-thrive-on-youtube-despite-pledge-to-clean-up-problematic-videos/2018/12/10/625730a8-f3f8-11e8-9240-e8028a62c722_story.html?utm_term=.4a5299d510fd …pic.twitter.com/lFTHEvdTEB

        Books--books, I say!!!--have the potential to radicalize viewers!!! Pamphlets too, those evil little papers all folded up like the devil himself! We need to oversee what gets printed and especially WHO is printing it!!! We need a moral print committee!!

        I mean, I don't get a Jordan Peterson book shoved in my face because I read some seemingly unrelated book. Well actually I do now because Amazon simply will not stop recommending I read 12 Rules for Life, but in a traditional book scenario that would not happen.

        Sadly I think anything that gets in their way of bombing and exploiting people is what they consider disruptive. They'd probably completely lose their shit if peace ever broke out.

        Youtube is bad, unlike cable news, newspapers, & books??? Only because they dont control every independent commentators. And because people can give feedback & call them out on their lies.

        The “Distinguished Gentlemen” of the Senate have done far more to radicalize me than freaking YouTube.

        FOX NEWS reaches and incites millions more potential, domestic terrorists. And the NRA ensures they are armed to the teeth. But they are big donors to our senators.

        Disruptive to what, endless war and US global military empire? By far the greatest and most dangerous enemies of freedom and the American people are not in some foreign country - they are in DC.

        YouTube allows material “Involving hatred, bias and bigotry.” And sometimes even free speech.

        IMO a lot of this angst is a symptom of the root problem that our public commons is increasingly controlled by a handful of corporations that curate it and ban people by rules and algorithms that are completely opaque
