Hi @TeamYouTube
Can you please explain what makes this a demonetizable video? I merely told a story of an environmental activist and his fight to save a river.

Remember this one, Dhruv? You were absolutely in support of social media censorship out of partisan interests. The other shoe has dropped now.pic.twitter.com/q92VlA2oTj
Comparing apples n oranges! It’s like equating instances of legitimate action by police 2 check crime with instances involvin abuse of power
Except that this isn't legitimate action by police. This is a private platform, not a public utility and they can demonetise whoever they want. I can decide who comes into my house and who doesn't, it's not abuse of power. Apples and oranges indeed.
U r essentialy sayin the same. Reason why those acounts got blockd n why his video demonetizd r nt comparabl. Former deservd it, latter didn
Wrong- neither deserved it (both are free speech) but both bans are justified because youtube is a private platform.
YT being a private platform is irrelevant here. They still ve rules 4 actions they take, just like public institutions. N in both cases, fake news is treated differently from free speech. That's why DT's account or the video havent been blockd.
And btw, fake news IS free speech. The only way to counter it is to debunk it and rebut it, not shut it down or censor it.
Fake new is NOT free speech by any measure. N that's why evn the 'public' institutions which u've explaind form rules by legislations strive 2 curb it. N ppl get arrestd/convictd if it leads 2 some harm 2 any1. N pvt ones block accounts :) A simple google search will help u
Private ones block them based on their own guidelines, same set of guidelines can justify Dhruv's video being demonetised. Btw, fake news is free speech by every strech of imagination. The simple fact of laws being passed against them does not make it any less so. (1/2)
Again question is not really whether the private org was justified in blocking DT's video. It's whether the reason why it got blocked can be equated with the reason why those fake news accounts got blocked.
