Youtube bans QAnon, the crazy conspiracy theorists who think children are being ritually sacrificed as part of a cabal Trump is fighting (several QAnon Republicans are running for office)

It's about fucking time. Post election I think a lot of the internet will be doing a massive cleanup for the cluster fuck they allowed to fester and build.

They're gonna clean up antifa

Excellent.

 

We've seen deplatforming work well when targeted at specific people, but I have no idea how effective a Qanon ban can possibly be given how diffuse it is. At the very least this should greatly limit the reach of videos that may have otherwise gotten large numbers of views.

That's the thing. We already know the companies ALL have the ability to do this because they've either admitted as much or already do so in other countries. Google has the ability to make certain items not pop up thanks to the EU's right to be forgotten. They and everyone else can ban Nazi stuff in Germany. They can also censor anything they want in China. Facebook and Twitter have also straight up said they have the tools to do this stuff on the US, but are afraid their algorithms would affect conservatives too much since they do enjoy their dog whistles.

 

It's not about if they can, but more about if they're willing to.

waiting for reasonable Republicans any minute now

My aunt is livid about this. I didn’t know till a couple of days ago. Te more I laughed, the angrier she got, the more I laughed. I was like, really auntie? Save the kids? You didn’t even raise your own. I know, I was raised with them.
