Any site with more than a few hundred users is going to have the same problem.
But small sites can't fight off the non-stop assaults by copyright lawyers. Only big sites like YouTube can afford to deal with user created content. We can't go back to the early days where there were thousands and thousands of little sites hosting a wide range of content - we see stories every day about them being shut down by non-stop copyright demands.
So el Cheetos just demanded that Google and Facebook block the Proud Boys, StormFront, and all the violent right-wing groups. (Except the ones that voted for him - those are Very Fine People!)
One thing that comes up again and again in these defamation articles is that they rarely contain any actual defamation. Some of the posters (Like that self-help scammer and serial goat rapist) still are unclear on how it all works.
I don't think it actually alters the stream, what they do is throttle the stream to the point where 480p is all that can get thru. This causes the source to either change the rez or get choked. Not 100% sure there may be other technical measures I'm not familiar with, but trans-coding it on the fly seems like it would be impossible for Verizon, especially with HTTPS.
Zof, what kind of hoax sees so many of Trump's associates lie about their connections with Russia, go to jail for working with Russia, and shows again and again that Cadet Bone Spurs lies more often than not?
I don't think you know what misdirect means. I was commenting on how the post was off topic. Which is in itself misdirection.
The AC army, Blue Balls and Hamilton love to jump in and make their poorly worked attacks on free speech but rarely have anything to say other than "TD is doing it wrong." But never can step up and show citations, show us was their (unmoderated!) blog looks like, or how this all would work if their wonderful ideas were taken seriously.
I can list hundreds of cases where people have been banned, their Youtube channels or Twitter accounts deleted.
You say you can - but you don't. So...
Hundreds - out of how many accounts? Is a hundred a lot or nothing compared to the totals banned? Per day? Per Year? Per Decade?
This is what we call nebulous, spurious, and anecdotal.
Hell, even my own comments have banned on Ars Techica, NY Yimes and Guardian simply because they were pointing out plain statistical facts that went contrary to left-wing narrative that articles tried to present.
Ah yeah - those are the screeds you keep posting about the master race, and people keep telling yo you are an asshole, and then you scream "I'm being oppressed by lesser races!" Maybe you are getting downvoted everywhere you go exactly because yo are a racist piece of shit? (I'm sorry - you have facts to prove you aren't being racist. Non-racist nazi.)
especially when the punishment for violating those terms is selectively enforced
Selective? Not so much. It is confirmed that the bans are often handed out capriciously. Because consistent moderation at that scale is demonstrably impossible.
who like to dress themselves up in the trappings of Christianity but not to actually follow Christ's teachings
Conservatives worship Jebus, a blonde white guy who drives a pickup and preaches prosperity. They have nothing to do with that dark skinned jew who hated money and preached tolerance.
AFAIK, it is not against the local rules at TD to call el Cheetos "Cadet Bonespurs" or "Raciest and Chief." I certainly wouldn't want to run afoul of the moderation here.
But fair is fair - the Orange One does not treat his opponents with respect:
Pocahontas
Crooked Hillary
Little Rocket Man
Low Energy Jeb
Lyin' Ted (Ha)
Failing New York Times
Crazy Maxine
Little Marco
Crazy Joe (Who is weak, both mentally and physically)
So insulting Drumpf is a tradition started by the Liar in Chief
Not to mention outright threats of violence, rape and murder the Sad Puppies and Proud Boys are known for.
But no, they were simply kick/banned for telling the truth about white power....

Huh, nothing about the horrifically violent drug war and assassinations of public officials? Weird.
So several articles about free speech, censorship, the press. Wow, kinda sounds on target.
Please link to your much better blog with the real stories you think are more important?
