"This morning Google told me that it would not allow my YouTube video "Socialism Leads to Violence" to be viewed by young people. It violates "community guidelines," said the company in a computer-generated email.
Anti-capitalist bias? Or just an algorithm shielding children from disturbing violence in Venezuela? I don't know."


Google controls what we see all the time.

It took me all of 30 seconds to find out this is a lie:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRFI3SyLR78

In fact, I just realized the article has a link to that very same video!

So they tell us, 'Youtube won't let me post a certain video,' but there it is, on Youtube!

And BTW I am not signed in in my Google account, so Youtube has no idea how old I am, and yet I can view it anyway.

If you read to the end of the article-----and most won't even read the first part, sigh----you would find out Stossel said YouTube put it back up.

By the way Google owns YouTube.

Google represent itself as a "neuteral public forum," which it appears the in truth are not. The FTC needs to take action to rectify this inconsistency, which is not allowed under FTC regulations.

One solution to this issue for Google and Youtube (Also Facebook, Twitter, etc.) is to just stop representing themselves as neuteral. The other solution is to radically change their company cultures so as to actually start being neuteral.

The FTC has indicated they are reviewing this issue with regards to the large social media companies.
