We know that Google is a very powerful political player and fires employees who disagree with their politics. They can't handle political debate and opinions that disagree with theirs. So they censor by restricting access to perfectly benign Prager videos. I can't understand why these videos would be restricted other than they don't support Google's political bias.
--------------
YouTube is currently restricting 21 educational videos from PragerU, a conservative advocacy organization.
According to YouTube, videos that are restricted contain vulgar language, violence and disturbing imagery, nudity and sexually suggestive content, and portrayal of harmful or dangerous activities. Videos that fit this description are not available to logged-out users, those who are under 18 years of age, or those who have activated restricted mode, according to YouTube.
PragerU believes YouTube to be censoring these 21 videos, according to a press release from PragerU.
The list below contains all of the videos currently under question by YouTube.
You may call it educational, but the two videos that I viewed a while back (links provided by a CD member on the forum) were chock full of absolute fabrications - propaganda masquerading as truth.
As for Google sensoring PragerU, just wait until Ajit Varadaraj Pai, the current chairman of the FCC, kills net neutrality. AT&T and Comcast will start throttling sites like PragerU and the Daily Signal when they don't pony up the money to those ISPs and they get relegated to dial-up modem speeds.

lmao....It didn't before NN and it won't happen after in a big way. Companies like Netflix SHOULD pay to have their traffic carried since it uses more bandwidth than anything else. How is it fair that one companies content can hinder the other and you're ok with that? Bandwidth isn't made out of thin air. You do realize that everything you do right now is throttled in some way through QoS. It HAS to be, there isn't enough bandwidth to give everything 100%.

How is Netflix actually hindering the other websites?
Which websites can't you currently access because of Netflix?
...
In a conversation down in the Science/Technology forum, the question was asked as to whether one needed a really fast internet connection for streaming videos from Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, etc. The consensus from the CD members who field most of the tech questions was that video streaming really didn't require a faster connection.

lmao....Whoever told you that is a complete ass. You can't stream HD video on dial up nor DSL. Hell, you can't stream video AT ALL on dial up.You need atleast 40MB or even higher. Anyway, you have no idea how any of this works. If your ISP is giving Netflix the same priority as everything else, something has to slow down, you can't cram 10lbs of potatoes into a 5lb bag. The ONLY reason you want NN is for censorship. If you truly believe that Netflix and other HD streaming sources don't use much bandwidth all I can do is point and laugh.

You couldn't actually answer the question, could you?
Instead, you dragged in dial-up and DSL speeds when the discussion on the CD Science/Tech forum was about internet cable speeds, and whether 10 Mbps was adequate or if it was necessary to bump it to a higher speed.
Good to hear of corporations cracking down on fake news. Prager U sounds a bit like Trump U. Both are cons.
