Nope. Listened to a lawyer’s thoughts on this last night. They will continue to do this even after Biden is sworn in. If someone wants to spread election misinformation, there are other services that will be more accepting of such content.

ThinkingSapien, you might want to check out this December 2019 video from Rich of ReviewTechUSA. (Admittedly, some people might find a few words in said video to be at least a little bit offensive.)

Watched. I actually don’t have much disagreement with him. YouTube has shifted over the year to keep advertisers and commercial entities happier no disagreement.

I think where we might differ is that I see that simply as a business decision (youTube was not profitable when Google acquired them). Fbut o get the feeling that he may have a sense of entitlement; that YouTube is obligated to host his content. Whereas I see having content on YouTube as something that is subject to the the rights that YouTube has over their own property.

Put another way, sometimes people put signs on the edge of my yard, such as for garage sales or elections. I dont put signs there myself. But I fo selectively remove signs, as is my right on my property.

Perfect Analogy.
 
Yes, censorship is extremely troubling.

Especially after what we have seen the power the democrats and the media have tried to exert the past 4 years. Everyone should be concerned and if they aren’t, they should ask themselves why?
 
I have no doubt they will allow any news stories of fraud to continue, if fraud is actually found. As it is, removing dangerous misinformation seems responsible.

This place, when it was moderated more, did the same thing.

I wouldn’t call election fraud dangerous misinformation.

I happened to be watching Narcos Mexico the other night which dealt with the presidential election in Mexico of 1988 and how the election was fraudulent. It was eerily familiar with what we are witnessing now
minus the drug cartels going into polling places and forcing them to add zeros behind numbers of votes.
In our case, workers were willing to cheat and didn’t need to be coerced.

It was so ironic to be watching those scenes since it was filmed months before our election.

You might be onto something there. 7 million does have a lot of zeros at that.

Too bad there are other digits though.

You would have to watch the show to understand what happened apart from manipulating how the machines were programmed.

So your post makes no sense to me. I don’t know where you come up with 7 million.
 
I didn’t say we had the same voting system, but machines were manipulated.

As I said in my earlier post, without watching the show and the scenes unfold, it was more complicated than simply adding zeros behind a 7.

Mexico, 1988. United States, 2020.

I don’t get why people have a problem with this. People are getting really crazy about this election.

Most people my age use youtube like TV, and there can be a lot of people hurt if they let people believe fake information. They need to be responsible and not feed into conspiracy theories.

I would hardly call a rigged election a conspiracy theory. Not after the other stunts the democrats pulled the past 4 years.

But there’s no evidence of any fraud. And all of Trump’s lawsuits got thrown out. I don’t know what else to call it but a conspiracy theory

There’s plenty of evidence of fraud and hundreds of affidavits.

Bush lost all his cases before 2000 went to the Supreme Court.

Youtube allowed the Russian collusion videos to remain up, so we are dealing with a double-standard.

There is plenty of evidence if you are willing to look at it.

I was referring to lying about election fraud. I have no doubt that if election fraud was actually substantiated, YouTube would be quite willing to allow it.

It is a theory because it has not been proven, even by preponderance of evidence. It is a conspiracy because the number of people that it would take to coordinate and pull this off constitutes a conspiracy. The man charged with overseeing the security of the election by the President, Christopher Krebs, said the election was secure.

So the man over it said it was secure. Every judge presented with evidence of fraud has rejected it. These are two facts that would put the burden of proof heavily on the side of those who believe in this conspiracy.

I think the biggest argument against election fraud is the number of people who would have to have collaborated to pull it off. Just look at the way the effort to prove fraud has gone. All that it has accomplished has been to provide fodder for comedy. That is what happens when too many people are involved in something. It becomes visible, sometimes slapstick.

That’s what supporters keep saying. Maybe there is a confusion as to what constitutes evidence of fraud. Some believe than any currently unexplained pattern in voting is solid evidence for fraud. They are wrong. Somethings patterns are just unexplained, and mean nothing more than that.
