Facebook bans journalist Ford Fischer from posting links as he attempted to share YouTube censorship article

Tom Parker Dec17, 2019

Facebook has blocked independent journalist and Filmmaker Ford Fischer of News2Share from posting links for 60 hours after he attempted to share a Reclaim The Net article about YouTube censorship. Fischer wasn’t given any warning and was automatically and instantly blocked as soon as he attempted to share the link.

The article that Fischer attempted to share, 2019 was a low point for YouTube and demoralizing for creators, documents YouTube censorship, leaks that have exposed YouTube bias, and the controversial policies YouTube has introduced in 2019. Fischer's News2Share channel being demonetized on YouTube after it introduced its controversial “hate speech” rules is one of the stories featured in the article.

I just attempted to post the @ReclaimNet story about YouTube censorship to Facebook and they automatically blocked me from posting links for exactly 60 hours without any explanation.

2019 has been a rough year for YouTube content creators, many of whom have had to contend with a range of problems Google's giant video platform has been unceremoniously throwing their way.

Founded in 2005 and acquired by Google a year later, YouTube has grown not only to dominate the video-sharing market in most parts of the world thanks to the homegrown creator talent who have been given a chance to earn a living on the platform. But with a string of decisions over the past several years, and many issues coming to a head this year, that partnership seems to be steadily dissolving.

It isn't that YouTubers are leaving the platform in droves – but the feeling is that they very much would be doing that if only they believed they had any other place to go.

Creators feel unappreciated and unprotected on a site they helped build, with YouTube often pulling the rug from under them by introducing new rules often to satisfy outside forces. Many of the changes threaten to fundamentally change the nature of the platform – and what made it appealing in the first place.

2019 has seen some endemic issues that have persisted for years, like YouTube's propensity to “delegate” problems, something obvious in the way it handles DMCA takedown notice from rights holders and copyright trolls alike, essentially leaving creators to deal with them and suffer monetary consequences.

This year, a deal YouTube struck with Federal Trade Commission for violations of the Child Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) follows in the same format – by and large, leaving creators to figure out for themselves how to adjust to the new rules and protect their revenues.

With hot-button issues like hate speech and bullying thrown into the mix of moderation and censorship enforced on the platform, YouTube is increasingly becoming a minefield that creators must navigate.
Banned accounts and copyright claims

2019 started with YouTube and other social media continuing their account banning and suspending spree, often baselessly – a trend started the previous year. These kinds of blunders were likely caused by overreliance on algorithms and overzealous attempts to keep content under control.

Comedian Steven Crowder's troubles on YouTube began in February when his annual Anti-Oscars Party live stream was suspended on the grounds of four copyright claims from Disney and Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) Oscars.
Crowder was hit with false copyright strikes that were used to take down his livestream, highlighting the flaws in YouTube's policies

These bogus claims were filed under DMCA rules that are supposed to allow fair use, and Crowder argued that his content as a transformative work fell under the fair use principle. He also said the real reason the entertainment giants came after him by abusing YouTube's broken copyright system was anti-competitive – simply to keep him off the platform.

Even when the issues were later rectified, it was days after the livestream and the damage was already done.

This system was further exploited later in the year to block President Trump's “Nickelback Joe Biden meme” video, exploring a corruption scandal involving the former US Vice President in a humorous way. Those who disliked the meme decided to take it down using a questionable copyright claim, ignoring that parody is another example of fair use.

Even The White House faced false DMCA claims that YouTube complied with. read interesting coverage at link above.

And yet the Republican party and Trump do NOTHING about the censorship of conservatives. If not for the incredible jaw-dropping overreaching criminality and stupidity of the Democrats and deep-state public servant corruption as they do their Stasi-government and media gang-stalking thing on President Trump, the 2020 election would not be as certain, but what about after 2020?

As some one who in the past has faced some pretty significant western government co-ordinated Stasi-type gang-stalking, and still do if I try to step outside of the cage I am barely allowed to exist in, let me tell you the co-ordination between governments and private business appeared seamless. Many conservative and anti-war youtuber's seem reluctant to admit this, but I see the mis-treatment of conservatives on Youtube, Twitter, Facebook etc as victimized by the fallen feminine pharmaceuticalized boomer western public servant's post 9/11 zionist-masonic-pedosatist-'publicservant' anti-Euroite police state.

support.google.com: Updating our ads and monetization policies on climate change

October 7, 2021
[T]oday, we’re announcing a new monetization policy for Google advertisers, publishers and YouTube creators that will prohibit ads for, and monetization of, content that contradicts well-established scientific consensus around the existence and causes of climate change...

In creating this policy and its parameters, we’ve consulted authoritative sources on the topic of climate science, including experts who have contributed to United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Assessment Reports.

support.google.com: Updating our ads and monetization policies on climate change

Climate change, is only one of the many verboten words on their system.

Vaccine
Election Integrity

are also to be banned.

Anyone using google, youtube has nothing to do with First Amendment, and are only making money on pretending to be opposing our lost First Amendment.
Llost is past tense. It's a done deal. The First Amendment is lost.

We have to just figure best way we the ordinary working people can put forth a real fight.

P.S. Gab seems to be a sincere effort. I signed up a long time ago and sent a small donation but admit I never spent time there and never figured out how to use it.

I understand that Gab is under many attacks.
