YouTube deletes video of a doc saying "When a person wants to cut off a good body part, we say they're mentally ill"
Ah, "social media." Is there anything they can't do, no matter how insane?
In the latest example YouTube removed a video by a conservative group, claiming the video violated YouTube's policy on "hate speech." In other words, they claimed the vid was "hate speech."
The vid shows a doctor saying essentially 'If a person wants to cut off a perfectly-functioning arm or leg, we say they're mentally ill. But if someone wants to cut off healthy breasts or a penis, we praise their bravery as transgenders.'
Sources say YouTube execs generously offered to let the conservative group re-post the video, but only if but only if they removed the transgender reference.
Is this censorship? Of course it is. Leftists can threaten to kill the president and his family, or post a pic of themselves holding Trump's severed head, or call the First Lady a c**t on cable TV, or post videos praising ISIS, and YouTube's execs smile approvingly. But if a conservative group posts a vid saying that people who cut off perfect body parts are mentally ill....why, that's "hate speech," citizen.
Mandatory Google warning: The claims made in the above post have not been verified by either Google or any of our Trusted Partners (NY Times, Washington Post, NBC, MSNBC and CNN), so readers are warned that the claims may not be accurate.
For example, our staff searched YouTube for a video from the conservative organization noted in the article but didn't find one. So it's likely it never existed.
