YouTube just banned Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes (Update: Reinstated)
- Thread starter Saya
- Start date
they are cracking down on alt right voices now? gavin mcginnes was directly apart of an FBI watch list as the proud boys causing violence so...
but why copyright infringement? just say the reason why you are throwing him, the real reason. these folks deserve to be called out for their actions

Because then they wouldn't be able to weasel their way out of explaining why they haven't banned way more of these people.
"This is a free speech issue."
No more deeper than that. Dude has no idea what free speech really is.
That's dangerous....cause you could do the same to any voice and then weasel out of it by saying something else. We need transparency from these entities which control our media
If they are gonna destroy this guy for being an alt right racist fuck, they gotta
A. explain clearly that they are culling him for being an alt right racist fuck
B. cull all the alt right racist fucks like roaming millenial, ben sharpio, pragerU, sargon, steven crowder...basically all the right wing voices
Now if they are culling him cause he was apart of proud boys for causing racial violence, that also should be called out.
Capone got taken down by taxes. If this is a way to get them out on a cut and dry infringement, then good.
If you get three strikes your channel is gone for good. He either got them so fast he couldn't appeal, or didn't care and let them stack up.
It takes only one successful case without significant backlash to prod other platforms into dropping these Nazi bozos. I think most of them are reluctant to make the first move but as long as one platform does it, it gives the go ahead to everyone else. In McInnes' case it started with his Twitter and snowballed from there.
but they dont need to take him down by legal means. isnt it in their TOS that they take people down for inciting hatred or racial violence? well just say that. its a legitimate thing to do
You're not wrong, but you'll get stuck in a semantic battle of what's "inciting." Instead of their teams battling for days on social with people about violence, they side step it and just say "nahh, he stole something and the infringement is cut and dry." It's the cowards way, but it's less intensive all around.
You're not wrong...
