Everyone is talking about the new moves google is taking to silence "controversial" content. It's stated aims are of course nebulous and appear to be for the removal of the Islamic terrorist content of Nasheeds and other videos of theirs from the platforms google operates. In practice, what is actually being removed is anything critical of political correctness, racial differences observable through science, such as IQ, and anything that attacks the globalist agenda at large. People are laying all the blame at googles feet, and of course they are responsible for the actual censorship. Just don't forget, someone is forcing this on Google just as much as it is a move made of their own accord. The EU forces Facebook and Google to tow the progressive and so called anti-racist line. Silencing any and all critical of the migrant aka invader crisis and progressive lunacy that has beset Europe. It's almost a cliche at this point to call it madness, but that is what it is. I've run out of verbs to describe it.
Googles monopoly in information technology is a product of the cherished "free market" the so-called skeptic community on YouTube likes to espouse as well as other internet personalities and individualists. There is no alternative to YouTube and Google that is as even remotely as attractive as said services. Google has a position of absolute power of the flow of information. The only way to check Googles power now, is through government intervention. However, given the governments of the current year, that's not exactly the rosey solution one might envision, as a lot of the governments globally, would be one hundred percent on board with Googles actions. Maybe not the united states with it's first amendment, but that even seems to be standing on shakey grounds these days.
No platforming is the route Google is taking. Ideologically, it is no secret they have more in common with Antifa than they do with anything even remotely right of centre. This is only the beginning. They have removed videos from the mainstream on YouTube, into a limited state, in which they remove all features from the video. You can no longer comment on nor rate said videos. Which others have raised, removes the opportunity to try and refute claims made in the video. As I stated earlier, they remove the videos critical of political correctness and racial differences etc. They will be replaced with the most degenerate videos you can even imagine. I watched a video recently, I think it was by computing forever, in that he showed the videos YouTube was producing and promoting and it's the stuff of nightmares. They expose children to sex toys, and sexual matter that you might not even want to expose yourself to, never mind a child before the age of ten.
There is a silver lining to this monopoly of censorship Google holds and that is the Streisand Effect. The Streisand effect is the phenomenon whereby
an attempt to hide, remove, or censor a piece of information has the
unintended consequence of publicizing the information more widely,
usually facilitated by the Internet. We're living in the digital age. Censorship, will not work. When something is removed and made taboo, it simply makes it a more attractive piece of knowledge to acquire.
