soldiers shooting civilians, including children
I mean, it’s right there. YouTube ain’t LiveLeak.
Coverage of the Tienanmen Square Massacre is on YouTube and includes exactly this.
Hell, it’s practically a meme to shout “Nobody in China knows about Tienanmen Square!” at the villainous Lemmy Tankies, precisely because the Chinese government has a policy of taking down media coverage while the US media proudly reproduces it at every opportunity.
Why would YouTube, a company that has repeatedly expressed its commitment to breaking down the barriers of government censorship and oppression, suddenly decide it needs to censor a state-sanctioned massacre of civilians? What would lead us to conclude that the genocide in Gaza should be treated differently than the Tienanmen Square massacre?
Can someone let that reporter know that PeerTube and other YouTube alternatives already exist.
Yes there are less viewers comparing to YouTube but at least the content willl be not removed.
There is no safety on corporate media. This is why we built the fediverse.
If you’ve been on the internet for a decade or two and can’t find news you clearly remember that happened about the big corp, tech or the government, you know these ghouls work together to shape a narrative. They scrub the internet clean of it.
These companies (big tech and news corps) being a monopolies isn’t a coincidence, authoritarian governments like it when they have direct access to narrative control.
Needless to say, archive everything you think could disappear, in multiple places, and possibly in regions of their geopolitical rivals.
I hope there at least one yt-dlp / peertube backup somewhere…
lol that’s so funny <-- presumably what you thought when you decided to post this is in a “meme” community instead of some kind of serious political comm.
I myself think this community either has to pick a better name or get different content because there is a serious mismatch, but stated in the sidebar this community is for sharing screenshots of microblog posts. That makes this is the perfect for this post, despite the name of the community. I can’t speak for the op, but i dont think theyre laughing about this
Serious posts are certainly common here, but most are clearly humorous.
As a subscriber to this community, i know. If you were aware as well, that makes your comment even more unnecessary.
Common, yes. Acceptable, no.
I dont mind you having an opinion, but better share it in a more constructive manner next time. Because your way of communicating might be common online, it’s not very desirable. Not for me at least.
