WTF? YouTube censoring Senator Rand Paul videos?

[Poker Player]

Social media is going too far. If there is one thing I like about this forum is that here you know you are not going to be censored for your political views. And much less for telling the truth.

Senator Rand Paul is famous for his disses with Fauci and for accusing him of lying about the origin of the coronavirus.

Recently Youtube has censored him a video and he recommends everyone to follow him on Rumble because he doesn't know if they will censor more videos he uploads and how long they will last.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – "Today, physician and U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) released a video calling out YouTube for censoring his content. Recently, Dr. Paul uploaded a video to his YouTube channel, which was an interview with a journalist, and during the interview they discussed a variety of topics, including the science behind masks. Despite the fact that Dr. Paul’s comments were based on scientific evidence, YouTube, acting in lockstep with the government, claimed it contradicts the government’s official position and censored the video.
 
If you want to see the original video, it’s up on Rumble and you can view it HERE: Dr Paul Addresses Dr Fauci’s Mishandling of the COVID-19 Pandemic with Newsmax.
 
In response to this ridiculous act of censorship, Dr. Paul released a video message explaining the science and facts behind his comments and urging those who want uncensored news to view his content on Rumble.
 
“Censorship by YouTube is very dangerous as it stifles debate and promotes groupthink where the “truth” is defined by people with a political agenda,” said Dr. Paul in the video. “If you want uncensored news, go to Rumble.com.”

Youtube's always been heavy handed with their censorship whenever anyone speaks something about Covid that isn't mainstream. They came around to the lab leak theory, finally, but you would have videos that'd get taken down for implying the theory a year ago. Have the audacity to say masks barely do anything to stop the spread, and you'll be booted for misinformation. Maybe even citing some basic statistics and comparing Covid to the flu for younger age demographics, nope, can't have that either.

Youtube do not follow their own guidelines and remove anything that they think is harmful to their image. I wish there was a alternative but Youtube has the Monopoly.

I stopped using it almost all together for actual info some months ago and didn't miss it.  As a matter of fact, whenever I do happen to search for actual information on the platform I am amazed at how CNN-ish all the content there is.

I still use Buttchute mostly at this point but don't trust them.  It is becoming increasingly useless also, but in exactly the opposite way.  They try to force-feed me idiots/creeps like infowhores, styxhexenhammer666, Tim Pool, etc, but I always sort-by-date so it nixes that issue.  The biggest problem is that it is being spammed with 'anti-vaxxer' junk which is shrill, inaccurate, and counterproductive.  I'm pretty sure that at this point MOST of the 'anti-vaxxers' are ultimately being paid by the corp/gov vax machine whether they know it or not.  Others (e.g., Bannon) are taking the opposite side to the vaxxers in order to capitalize on a backlash.  I'm confident to say that his 'patriot' persona is as phony as it's ever been, and his sugar-daddies (or data-daddies) are among the most desirous of getting the goyim jabbed.  Bannon and his ilk are nothing more than pied pipers, but in the mean time I will say that some of the guests he gets are worth listening to.

Odysee seems pretty good, but I've not really switched over to them as a scan point though for some reason.  Perhaps soon.

Social media must serve for some people, especially  for politicians. The epidemic has brought us too much information that is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and this information is transmitted to the public through social media.We can only judge true and false based on our own cognition.

To me what strikes me about this is that if you listen to Ran Paul, you can agree with him or not, but he is a doctor and he gives detailed arguments to expose his ideas, without putting aliens or microchips in what he says. To support censorship of this senator is to fall into a radicalism more typical of the USSR than of an advanced democracy.

The realization that it was to late, and laughably pointless to use traditional tools (voting, politicians/campaigns, protests, etc), hit me some time ago.  That bird has flown, and probably decades ago.  Rather than 'give up', so to speak, I just decided to try to consider it to be asymmetrical warfare and just do the best analysis that I could.  And leverage what capabilities I had to the best of my ability.  There simply won't be any opportunity until most of the sheep have been slaughtered (including most of my family unfortunately.)  It is what it is.  Best to try to be around and try to be ready if there is a window of opportunity.  There may or may not be.

Anyway, if you busy yourself analyzing how 'they' do what they do, you are less prone to being sucked in to one of the vast array of intake ports.  They have intake ports on both the pro-vax and anti-vax sides of the game (to use a currently relevant example.)  There are many people doing what I'm trying to do, and doing it quietly and in their own ways.  That is good.  Maybe if a window of opportunity opens up at some point in the future there will be enough people left to exploit it.

It's worth note that the people running things are certainly smart enough in their own ways, but they lean heavily on a cadre of technocrats for actual architecture and engineering.  The brightest of the technocrats who actually do the real and novel work tend to be the kinds of people who can flip, and it tends to be an internal process within themselves which flips the switch.  Those who are especially skilled at getting things done for the system can be equally effective at getting things done against it.

Then why YouTube allowed him to talk about the censorship of YouTube and ask the users to follow on other social media? In my eyes its just look like a strategy to increase the followers on other social media using controversial conspiracy. YouTube has their own community guidelines and if any creator who violates it means their video will be takem down that is what I know.

All corporations should be subject to the existing bill of rights. A corporation exists only due to government charter (articles of incorporation).

It's not particularly about Youtube per se, Youtube along with all other big IT companies is under the thumb of the deep state.
They do as they are told.

Yes and most of them post on ycombinator hackernews regularly.

How long before Youtube censors itself right out of business?

Very true.  Most will stay in their fairly well defined and maintained spheres and never break out.  Those that do break out will do so through a multi-year process.  Many of those will be sucked back in.

My main point is that there is a correlation between the highest level performers, and the people who break out and don't get sucked back in.  These people will also know the most about the system because they were most deeply involved in it's evolution.

It must be noted, however, that there is a noteworthy focus on psychological analysis within the most sensitive technocratic focused industries.  Yes, much of it is to simply identify and acquire high IQ workers, but I think there is more to it than that.
