Youtube have blocked my ability to earn money from my channel. I recently saw that Eli from Russia channel has received the same treatment! Funnily though, those channels who portray Russian negatively have not been effected!
Unfortunately, they do this with “Pro-Chinese” and “Pro-DPRK” channels, as well. Many even get deleted, especially if corporate media does an “exposé” on them (Russell “Texas” Bentley, Echo of Truth, etc). Meanwhile, the haters profit on propaganda.
YouTube cracked down on a video compilation of Democrats and media pundits questioning the legitimacy of former President Donald Trump’s 2016 election victory – then overturned the move amid backlash on Thursday.
According to the slides, the “glorification/promotion of [the] ‘Z’ symbol associated with the Russian military” is labeled “hate” and “extreme” under policy ID 864. So is saying that the conflict “is to denazify the Ukrainian government,” which is what Russian President Vladimir Putin said in February.
Saying that “Ukraine military is attacking its own people” is also considered problematic, ranging from “harmful-misinformation-moderate” (ID 862) to “harmful-misinformation-extreme” (ID 863) if the powers that be decide it amounts to “promotion or glorification.”
…
Another highlighted phrase under policies 862 and 863 is “US funded bioweapons labs in Ukraine.” Presumably the key word here is “bioweapons,” since the existence of “biological research facilities” in Ukraine was recognized by US Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland in a Senate testimony in March, and the Russian military has repeatedly presented evidence that these labs were funded by the US government, and the Pentagon in particular.
One of the slides shows a list of “out of scope” claims, noting there is no “full-scale block on all content” related to the conflict.
Also, don’t speak badly about Azov or you’ll be censored for hate speech. 🙄
For years now, I’ve been sending out a mailing, giving updates on my work, how to support, my reportage, etc. Recent times have seen an unprecedented level of contact, and interest, something I’m very grateful for, and which also puts it on me to up the game a bit in this sphere.
