From The Verge, an article on autonomous weapons systems:
YouTube’s new policies designed to more aggressively tackle supremacist content have also led to some creators claiming their videos have been improperly removed or hidden in the process. They argue that YouTube is not distinguishing between actual hate content and videos that document hate groups for educational or journalistic purposes.
In militaries, there is a saying: "Friendly fire isn't."
YouTube announced on Wednesday that it was taking stronger measures to ban “videos alleging that a group is superior in order to justify discrimination, segregation or exclusion based on qualities like age, gender, race, caste, religion, sexual orientation or veteran status.” It was only minutes later that creators began to see channels being removed or videos pulled down — including a channel run by a history teacher, a video uploaded by the Southern Poverty Law Center, and independent journalist Ford Fischer.
Fischer is a YouTube-based reporter who covers politics, activism, and extremism. He’s shot footage at events like the Unite the Right white supremacy rally that occurred in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017, as well as gay pride parades. Some of his footage is used by documentarians and educators to study extremism and activist groups around the world, Fischer tells The Verge.
Looks like YouTube is going to demonetize aristarchus!

A corporation is literally a legal entity, ie something devised by the government. And I don't know what hair you are trying to split, the point is it is all one big organization.

"Corporation" is just a name. Instead let's call them financiers. They create the government through finance. There is no other way.

No it isn't just a name, wtf are you talking about? Corporations are always created by the government, by definition. Like I said, the same people are behind both most big corporations and the government, but that has nothing to with the meaning of a corporation or which comes first.

The name "Corporation" was created by government. It's about branding. Financiers need a government to protect their finances, really to legitimize their theft of property. They create a government to stamp the deed so they can sell it back to the indians, or you if you make a higher bid. A government cannot exist without high finance from above. The first governments were created by pirates.

Alright, you have no idea what a corporation is, go look it up. Big business != corporation.

Never said it was. You're the one "splitting hairs" over nomenclature. Big business creates the government to "incorporate", to "legitimize" its business. It's strictly a paper thing, sealed with a kiss.

No, you are just trying to twist a simple fact (governments create corporations and define what they are) into supporting some bizarre pre-existing worldview you have.

Governments incorporate a business. But business always precedes government.

Oh! So very sorry..
The point is that government is always subservient to its business financiers.

People who do business "create[] and finance[] a government to protect and enforce contracts." The corporation happens to be one tool "to protect and enforce contracts" designed by these people and implemented through government.

I have no idea what distinction you are trying to make but surely you don't believe corporations "just happen" to be one tool used to protect and enforce contracts.

I do in fact believe that. A corporation is a group of people who enter into contracts as a group. Acts of the legislature that define corporations, such as the Joint Stock Companies Act 1844 [wikipedia.org], its successors, and its counterparts in other countries, are intended to facilitate this collective contracting.
