oh boy

quote:

YouTube is demonetizing many videos published by the Rubin Report on the Google-owned video platform, according to tweets from Dave Rubin on Wednesday.

Demonetized videos of the Rubin Report include interviews with Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Adam Carolla, Brigitte Gabriel, Rita Panahi, Christina Hoff Sommers, Jason Whitlock, and others.


while i moved to champion Ben Shapiro's online content over Milo's because Milo is more provocateur than original thinker and Ben is an intellectual heavyweight, Ben can still be snarky/mean. Dave Rubin is about as mild, mellow and non-controversial that you can imagine. he's even pretty liberal in most areas (and is a married gay man to boot).

what's funny (scary?) is that outlets like the Alphabet platform are actively fighting allowing free speech on non-Alphabet platforms under the same reasoning (See: Google app store bans Gab)

when you censor Milo? OK. or Paul Joseph Watson? OK. when you censor Jordan Peterson or Gad Saad? you're getting into scary territory by trying to delete science you disagree with. when you censor Dave Rubin, you're engaging in nothing more than acting as an agent of the thought police.

Silicon valley has a huge problem with neo-liberals fighting free speech they oppose on tech platforms and social media and I don't know how we can fight against that that doesn't involve reforms that are purely and completely anti free market freedom.

They never should've been censored in the first place if they have no harassed anybody and threatened them.

Dave Rubin loathes the modern left. A true liberal, he pretty much says hes been pushed away and can't get down with the lunacy of today's leftists. Like SFP said, Dave has had Shapiro,Milo,Dinesh,etc. he does a great interview.

WTF? Rubin is as non-controversial as they come.

If YouTube demonetizes him, they're going off the fricking deep end.

It's not much, but I just ended my youtube red account because of this.

I subscribed to watch depisodes of him, Jimmy Dore, Colin Noir, etc ad free.

"Do no evil" is complete bullshite at this point.

exactly

he's not a fire breather, contrarian, controversial, and/or troll

he's reasonable, calm, and communication-oriented

if he's getting hit then Youtube is literally doing nothing more than thought policing
