The Southern Poverty Law Center is assisting YouTube in policing content on their platform, The Daily Caller has learned.

The left-wing nonprofit — which has more recently come under fire for labeling legitimate conservative organizations as “hate groups” — is one of the more than 100 nongovernment organizations (NGOs) and government agencies in YouTube’s “Trusted Flaggers” program, a source with knowledge of the arrangement told TheDC.

The SPLC and other program members help police YouTube for extremist content, ranging from so-called hate speech to terrorist recruiting videos.

Is this a problem?

Private companies consult all the time with non profits to increase their revenue.

Does this need to be addressed by government? No.

Should this make users of Youtube a little curious or hesitant? Sure.

Seriously, basically anyone who makes any content that isn't feminist SJW bullshite is now flagged. shite, I bet The Young Turks are too far right for them. It also doesn't help that Maajid Nawaz and Bill Maher are suing them as well right now.

Yes it is a problem. You may try to shift the topic, but I will bring it right back to point.

YOUTUBE is using SPLC to root out conservatives voices from their platform.

People should know.

I say it’s time to start playing with fire and beat them at their own game.

People should start flagging left wing lunatic videos especially videos from the Southern Poverty Law Center. Heck, I would even start by flagging and down voting Fake News CNN videos on YouTube.

No, it's not just conservatives. They're trying to kick out anyone who isn't a communist 3rd wave feminist SJW. Laci Green has been getting her videos demonetized. shite, find someone more liberal than her. She's not good enough because she hangs with conservatives, fricks a libertarian, and thinks everyone should have free speech.

She's still got 1.5 million subscribers and gave the finger to MTV. I think she'll be ok.
