YouTube Crackdown: Conspiracy Videos

Post by jimjay » March 15, 2018, 6:10 am

AHA! Guess they got bored trying to stuff the "dead people in forest" videos and are now onto cracking down on Conspiracy Videos.

Perhaps some will maintain this is in itself a conspiracy.
FELIX THEY ARE ONTO YOU? : ) : ) : )
Still though, the use of the word "tries" belies the possibility they are helpless to control their own system? Seems like a trend on-line.

"YouTube tries to crack down on conspiracy videos"
NEW YORK (AP) -- YouTube says it's cracking down on conspiracy videos, though it's scant on the details.

Conspiracy videos abound on YouTube, whether it's about the Earth being flat or school shootings being staged. YouTube, its parent Google, Facebook and Twitter are all facing challenges with the spread of misinformation, propaganda and fake news.

YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki said at a conference Tuesday that the company will include links to the online encyclopedia Wikipedia to try to debunk videos espousing conspiracy theories.

But Wikipedia itself has had its share of credibility issues, as the service lets anyone edit its content, whether that person is a pedigreed expert or an online troll. Though Wikipedia has tried to address that — in part by restricting edits on high-profile or controversial pages — it isn't immune from hoaxes and its own conspiracy theories.

In a statement Wednesday, YouTube said the links will include other "third-party sources" besides Wikipedia, though YouTube isn't identifying any. The organization that runs Wikipedia said Wednesday that it had no formal partnership with YouTube, but welcomed the use of Wikipedia resources.

YouTube said the move is part of a broader initiative to crack down on misinformation, though it did not give details on what else is in the works.

While conspiracy videos are nothing new on YouTube, the topic received renewed attention in recent weeks as videos falsely claimed that students speaking out about the Feb. 14 Florida school shooting, which killed 17 people, were "crisis actors" who were not really there when it happened. One such conspiracy video was the top trending video on YouTube until the company removed it — although many similar videos remained up, illustrating the difficulty in instituting any sort of crackdown.

I don't see anything in the article referring to Government involvement, and I doubt you'll find any freedom of speech clause in youtubes terms of service. :lol:

Good on em for at least trying to rein in some of the people who spread lies, propaganda and fake news on-line.

No Papa, its not a conspiracy if msn, google ,facebook say it. Just ask them.
This has been going on for quite awhile now, The Purge" as it was called in the movies that came out a few years ago. Hollywood likes to drop "crumbs" as to what "the powers that be" are up to. Enter Trump: "Thats Fake News" he started this thing going, (thats his job), Then full swing back around. Now it looks like the snowflakes want to "Purge" him? They created these snowflakes just for this time. Its all designed to take away the 1st & 2nd amendment, Free Speech & guns.
When America goes down, the rest of the world will follow. If people only knew what they were being pulled into, by fighting amonst ourselves, they wouldn't be able to get us to do their dirty work. Watch this 3 hour thing, it will help put things into a brighter light. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is64dsv5Glc

As of this morning no they do not have full control. There just the ones currently holding the top spots.
Their companies and can censor their content if they wish, and consumers can get there info elsewhere if they wish.
The fact that its being reported shows transparency, not conspiracy. 8)

but I love conspiracy theories , entertainment . but how do you class fake news ? good example yesterday on the bbc web site, "America supports the uk" about the Russia poisoning. well the first thing was a picture of may and trump talking, and the photo had nothing to do with it, only put there to give the impression that may had actually been over to see trump, which she didn't, so fake picture taken at another time in another place and sure wasn't anything to do with Russia , so fake pictures. next as I read the story the term "Russian made" was thrown in. yes the Russians invented it, but the guy who invented it now lives and works in America. look I know it's just propaganda , but we all know propaganda is in itself fake news. so fake news will continue, but censorship is being added ,all part of the great game.

Heres one for the "conspiracies" (or is it?) Trump keeps saying we are "going to Mars". "Mars" is the (Greek?) god of war.
Heres some good "entertainment, and real funny..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEJ4KrntfiA \:D/

People from other countries know more about what is happening in the US, than the Americans know. Hmm? Why is that?
Its because Americans are force fed bombardments of fake news all day and night long. The real news is not of MSM, its on the independant sites that they want to "Gaggle" (shut down). The article tells it all, if you are able to connect the dots. Google owns Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and YES, Wilipedia. So now they will ask more of their other sites to help out by providing the "facts"? Heres one: Their all owned by the cia and the bad jews (not the good jews), same ones that own the FED, UN, Nashole, MSM, IRS, Amazon, EBAY, ect, and, oh yeah, the White House.
Lone Star, you should change your name to "Wag the Dog". Sometimes I wonder about you...is it that you don't get it or you are trying to stop others from getting it? Hmm?

Actually I got my handle from this guy - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natas_Kaupas (professional skateboarder from the 80's), but spelled backwards it does spell Satan. Glad my handle has sparked some interest...
