I just want to put this here to note that I'm still waiting to hear from @TeamYouTube, who did promise to "pass this along for you."
They have my email.
I want to talk and solve this.https://twitter.com/TeamYouTube/status/1136377601679867910 …

bottom line: my
@YouTube is about current events for the purpose of understanding them being able to provide critical analysis. That’s what the channel causes. Documentaries and newscasters use it as such every week. Demonetization is shutting down analysis of current events.14 replies 89 retweets 476 likesShow this thread -

I can’t emphasize enough that nobody with knowledge of this
@YouTube situation thinks this was rolled out well.@RiotDoge, an anti fascist who tracks far right stuff, says only one of the 20 channels they track got affected. This was totally misguided.https://twitter.com/riotdoge/status/1136373359762186241?s=21 …Ford Fischer added,

Indeed, the ban has already ensnared one undeserving account: Ford Fischer, an independent journalist and co-founder of News2Share. Fischer covers fringe political events, but he is not himself engaged in the kind of behavior YouTube has declared verboten.https://reason.com/2019/06/05/steven-crowder-youtube-carlos-maza-speech-videos/ …

Today,
@YouTube pulled the rug out from my income, my entire livelihood. Follows are awesome. People tweeting to YouTube is cool. But I need income to support my work after people forget about this.

Ford Fischer @FordFischerWithin minutes of@YouTube's announcement of a new purge it appears they caught my outlet, which documents activism and extremism, in the crossfire. I was just notified my entire channel has been demonetized. I am a journalist whose work there is used in dozens of documentaries. pic.twitter.com/HscG2S4dWhShow this thread86 replies 325 retweets 661 likesShow this thread -
Thanks
@kathygriffin. I do appreciate knowing people in high places of all stripes are looking at this issue. It touches everyone. This isn’t about the political right. They should own the issue of anti-censorship.pic.twitter.com/9l5D4BuQMo
