YouTube Adds Content Guidelines Appearing To Ban Users From Criticizing Potential Hoaxes

[Swordsmyth]

YouTube appears to have added a new content guideline preventing users from posting videos that criticize potential hate crime hoaxes. The change comes amid media reports suggesting actor Jussie Smollett falsely claimed a group of men assaulted him one night in Chicago.“Content claiming that specific victims of public violent incidents or their next of kin are actors, or that their experiences are false,” notes a bullet point (https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2802268?hl=en&ref_topic=2803176) on YouTube’s page fleshing out the company’s policies on harassment and cyberbullying. The language is an example of the kind of content the platform does not permit, according to Google.

You have to go back 11 years??? Not to mention, McCain was one of the biggest anti-Trumpers.

And it has nothing to do with Youtbe's policy change.
RZ is turning into zippy.

Oh it does, it's just the only example they can remember of somebody on the 'right' involved in a widespread public hoax where they claimed to be a victim of violence which turned out to be self-inflicted.

There are databases full of leftists (or as Mittens would say 'binders of leftists') doing the same.

Hoaxes? Like Sandy Hook - thank kind of hoax? Are they reinstating that Alex Jones guy's channel?

The difference for me was how quickly the right wing bloggers didn't believe her. They debunked her story quicker than the MSM did.
