Title: YouTube is censoring comments
Post by: KonstantinosM on September 20, 2017, 06:57:19 AM
What I get when I try to post a long comment on  YouTube is: "Comment failed to post".

I'm not trying to raise an alarm, but what if the banks or the powers to be, in a last ditch effort to stop the spread of crypto tried to make comments including the word "bitcoin" or similar unable to be posted?

What would you think would happen then?

That's not something new. They have also been manipulating # of views, like/dislikes, etc. for years. To be fair, every company does that. CNN, NY Times, ..., they all censor the user comments on their web sites. And let's not forget the Amazon review of a certain new book that magically jumped from 3 star to a perfect 5 star overnight, despite all the negative reviews from certified buyers...

That's something I'd like to look into, can you send me a link?

Edit: Are you referring to Hillary Clinton's book?

Honestly I wouldn't willingly pay money to Hillary and expect truth in return. If I bought it I'd have to pay money to her political rivals, but I'd rather not spend any in this broken system, especially considering how the rich and powerful can outspend me, especially since they hold all the cards.

We all saw how well Bernie did, despite him winning popular support and having more donators. But he kinda sucked too anyway. The last election was just another no-win scenario.
