YouTube Deletes Comments That Insult China

Quality of CU content has been going up (IMO) over the past 6 months or so. Bumping to second tier sub.
Thank you for the support!
Go Chris..you and your team needs a big Kudos!
One of Trump's arguably few redeeming qualities is his tough protectionist stance against Chinese theft of Western IP and manufacturing, due to espionage and subsidized production. Do you hope for the even tougher stance that Biden touts, or have you doubts?
The central African state of Equatorial Guinea has told the WHO’s representative to leave, accusing her of “falsifying” the country’s tally of coronavirus cases, according to the government and the UN health agency. https://www.macaubusiness.com/equatorial-guinea-accuses-who-of-inflating-virus-tally/
Try to find some sponsor...or two...? Do you have some criteria?
Chris, is it likely that the CCP make a come back after the CCP virus is over and over take the U.S
Chris should look at Lbry.com to upload your videos to prevent censorship.
Chris, given the recent changes in HK law, will you guys at China Uncensored feel safe traveling to HK in the future?
Very interesting.. I think it's highly likely that it's gaming the algorithm by nation states/massive groups. There's a fascinating YT episode of the channel SmarterEveryDay that goes over Coordinated Inauthentic Behavior online and how to recognize it and what we need to do to fight it... The good thing is, most of these company platforms are aware of it (he interviews several of them), but I don't think we have a good solution on how to 100% stop it yet.
Could be YT censors are being paid off (2nd try).
Hmm, I usually monitor the CGTN sites, which are full of crap and I note their...deficiencies. In English...will have to use Communist Bandit...
Given the new executive order from President Trump, I believe a class action lawsuit from Youtube journalists (like you guys) is needed against Google. Have you thought about doing something like that? BTW, I am a data scientist and your comment about the algorithms being easy to game is 100% correct. I used to work at a big financial data company and we had to developed algorithms to detect and remove trolls from the signal. Regardless, a lawsuit is still needed here since Youtube has not only violated freedom of speech but also allowed misinformation to persist.
Hopefully Trump will crack down on all of Silicon Valley. They do not have the right to do mind control, which exactly what it is.
I don't want any of our corporations to be friendly with or to try and appease the CCP; let alone social media. But without protections against lawsuit liability, being a US-based platform will become impossible, because live posting will invite too much risk of litigation. This includes Twitter and YouTube, but it also includes 4chan, newgrounds, anywhere else that doesn't have prior and comprehensive vetting of user content. All user generated content would require vetting and editing in order to remove risky content. This would precisely empower folks like armies of CCP flaggers and the loudest voices for censorship on social media, whatever they decide to target next. No Section 230 would return us to a time when New York Times, CNN, Fox News served as the sole national proprietors of news media, controlling most of the research preparation, and dissemintation of news. There would be lttle room for platforms that provide room for small, independent media to elbow in on the attention they get. The end result would be a lot less speech, and a lot less diversity of perspectives. I think the most feasible and effective solution is to do some regulation of social media giants to the extent of requiring neutrality on behalf of company actions around user-generated content.
Russia and China seem to be cozying up and forming an alliance. However, they have had a long history of being allied in public, but foes behind the scenes, especially during Stalin/Mao times. Is this still happening, or do you think that Russia and China are really forming a strong alliance, both in public and private?
I believe chaos is the foundation for the forces of darkness, so behind the scenes there will never be unity.
