It goes both ways. No proceed to call me names and offer up nothing of significance.

Even if you are correct, that's no reason to censor a video. One man's propaganda is another man's truth.

I assume you are mature enough to not support censoring something just because you disagree with it.

Even if you are correct that's not a valid reason to censor. People who are confident with their political views should welcome debate, not censor it.

Sounds like you are not mature enough to handle debate and other people's views. Got it.

Not at all. They fire employees who break the rules set forth by Google, just like any other employer would.

That said, Prager U is full of BS and why anyone watches that channel is beyond me.

Yeah, I blocked him a long time ago because of his constant attacks on people.

They fired an employee for debating their diversity position. Google is a very political organization.

So you are not mature enough to debate people who disagree with you so you must censor them?

No, I don't like it when the government censors, but then Google is a privately held company and can decide what content it wants on its websites. Sort of like how City Data "censors" these forums, or at least that's the claim of malcontents.

You can still go and find the videos that were banned from You Tube, so technically they're not censored.

As for "one man's propaganda is another man's truth"...you're simply wrong about that.

It is getting crazyville, on the amount of censorship happening now, that did not exist on these social media platforms, before the left lost this last Presidential election.

It is like an organized effort, to remove the people with different politics and point of view, cannot use the telephone anymore.... OOOps, I mean the internet, in an equal manner as those involved in group think.

Exactly. It is funny how Conservatives are all about companies rights to do things until it is something they care about.
