      Adult journalists whining to YouTube and throwing a fit because the platform won't remove material that the journalists have subjectively deemed "harassing" is so infantile and feeble-minded, it's ridiculous

      I find Steven Crowder obnoxious, unfunny, and politically appalling, but that doesn't mean I would therefore demand that his videos be removed from YouTube just because they offend my sensibilities. The principle of a free, open internet overrides my personal sensibilities

      For the millionth time. Appealing to tech authorities to be arbiters of speech imbues them with massive power that they do not deserve to wield. Journalists' newfound embrace of this moralizing censoriousness is gross, and contrary to the fundamental tenets of the profession

      If you have a large platform and constantly make provocative political statements as part of your job, you should expect to receive provocative, demeaning insults. It's inevitable. Citing these insults to demand that your detractors be expelled from online platforms is baby stuff

          Contemporary online journalists remind me of the Christian conservative groups who crusaded in the 1990s and 2000s for the FCC to censor Howard Stern because he said stuff they found offensive. It's the same censorious mindset, cloaked as ostentatious moralizing

          Tracey already does get "harassed" though, at least to a fairly notable degree.

          How is making “provocative political statements” equivalent to personal “demeaning insults”?

          It's also the stuff of protected classes (POC, women, LGBTQ). @scrowder's targeted harrassment is a speech exercise that abuses the power of the hetero majority. Your free speech absolutism rests on a post-inequality delusion.

          Do't call it free speech absolutism, call it hate speech apologism. I wonder, if he also thinks, that we shouldn't put murderers into jail, bc it was their opinion, tthat the killed person should have been killed. I bet, he'd call it censorship as well.

          There's been a lot of bad journalism for a long time....For instance the "yellow journalism" which got us into the Spanish-American War. But you're right that things have become more blatantly disgusting in recent years.

          This is precisely what we get for getting rid of free play and having adult supervision on kids 24/7 - This leads to adults with ZERO capability to resolve disputes without crying to a leviathan to solve it. @gaywonk - F****** call @scrowder and deal with this on your own.
