YouTube Restores Far-Right Channels After Appeal
Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:
The channels of two prominent far-right YouTubers have been re-instated after the video-sharing site said it made a mistake in removing them. Initially, YouTube gave no reason for changing its decision and just said it had made a "wrong call". Later, it said that while many people found the channels "deeply offensive", they had not broken its rules. The decision came days after YouTube's chief executive said YouTube had to be open to hosting "controversial" ideas.
YouTube removed several channels and accounts this week, claiming they had broken its hate speech policies. Among them was a channel run by white nationalist Martin Sellner and an anonymous British YouTuber known as The Iconoclast. Mr Sellner was reportedly in contact with the man who allegedly carried out the Christchurch mosque shootings in March this year that killed 51 people. Austrian police are investigating his links to the attack. He denies any involvement in the shooting.
Both men protested about the closure of their YouTube channels on social media. They shared information sent to them from YouTube, which said they had "repeatedly" broken its guidelines. On Thursday, YouTube reversed its decision and reinstated the two channels. Several other far-right channels that YouTube banned this week remain unavailable.
An explanation for the change of heart came on Friday. Farshad Shadloo, YouTube's global product policy communications lead, said that after a "thorough review" it had decided that the channels had not broken its rules. "We realise that many may find the viewpoints expressed in these channels deeply offensive," he said. Mr Shadloo added that YouTube had recently updated the way it handled "hateful content".
Earlier this week YouTube boss Susan Wojcicki wrote in a letter to video-makers that YouTube must remain an "open platform". She said the desire to welcome all kinds of views had to be balanced against a "responsibility to protect the community".
"A commitment to openness is not easy. It sometimes means leaving up content that is outside the mainstream, controversial or even offensive," she said. "Hearing a broad range of perspectives ultimately makes us a stronger and more informed society," she claimed.
'I am Talking Directly to You': US Attorney Delivers Powerful Rebuke to White Nationalists
The U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Ohio on Thursday announced new federal charges against a self-avowed white nationalist accused of threatening to commit an attack on a local Jewish community center. James Reardon, who attended the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, was arrested last week after authorities said he posted the threat on Instagram. U.S. Attorney Justin Herdman said Reardon has now been charged with one count of making threats as authorities continue their investigation into Reardon and whether he my have any accomplices.
Of course, not so much that, but what Herdman said after that.
"I am talking directly to you," Herdman said at a news conference announcing the charges. "The Constitution protects your right to speak, your right to think, and your right to believe. If you want to waste the blessings of liberty by going down a path of hatred and failed ideologies, that is your choice."
Herdman continued, evoking the sacrifices made by U.S. service members in World War II against Nazism, as well as those who marched for civil rights throughout U.S. history.
"Thousands and thousands of young Americans already voted with their lives to ensure that this same message of intolerance, death, and destruction would not prevail - you can count their ballots by visiting any American cemetery in North Africa, Italy, France, or Belgium and tallying the white headstones," Herdman said. "You can also recite the many names of civil rights advocates who bled and died in opposing supporters of those same ideologies of hatred. Their voices may be distant, but they can still be heard."
"The Constitution may give you a voice, but it doesn't guarantee you a receptive audience," Herdman added.

Correct. And you should be aware of the difficulties Africans or Blacks from other parts of the world experience if they visit America. African-Americans, however, do have a culture, one that is the product of race-based slavery that kidnapped them and destroyed connection to the cultures they came from, and treated them as all the same. "White" Americans have no such experience, other than that having been the slavers gives them all a common responsibility and guilt of crimes against humanity.

Most whites weren't slave owners or slave traders. Slave traders didn't go into Africa to capture slaves. They bartered for them with goods like alcohol. The slaves captured by rival tribes.
Blaming whites today for slavery will be like blaming the whites of tomorrow for the crimes of the 1% today. Slave labor hurt the average American through wage suppression. It was just their time's version of H1B Indian workers or illegals working under the table.
American whites do have their own culture. You probably see it whenever you look out of your window in your nice neighborhood. Unfortunately that can only be enforced with high property values so the only non-whites who live amongst you are the cream of the crop.
Meanwhile anyone who actually has to interact with people who are different from them have a drastically different experience if they aren't safeguarded by these high property values. Our neighborhoods aren't gated and if we are lucky, there is no public transportation nearby. We see our neighbors stop looking like us and have to deal with culture clashes. Neighbors start keeping external lights on to thwart people of ill intent but now we have to put up black out curtains just to fall asleep from all of the light pollution.
So go on and keep socially signalling about how virtuous you are over the rest of us and how great it'll be when whiteness is defeated. When whites become a minority in their own country the others won't care if you were one of the "good" ones if you look white. You will not be judged favorably because they'll see that you didn't stand up with your own people and worse betrayed your own people. How can they trust you to not betray them with such a track record? How can they be sure you won't throw a quikcrete smoothie in their faces?
If it doesn't bother you that they'll kill you along with us if the fall of whites ever happens, please go get help for your suicidal thoughts.

Despite your arbitrary declarations like you're some kind of authority on the issue, you are wrong.
A nation is a community of sentiment which would adequately manifest
itself in a state of its own; hence, a nation is a community which normally
tends to produce a state of its own.

Say, why don't you double down, AC, and really display your lack of knowledge and education? There were no "Boards of Education", or Regents, or Chancellors in 284BCE, the School was run by the scholars themselves, as a professional association based on mutual recognition of competence. The "Board of Education" is something invented in Texas circa 1982CE, to prevent education from taking place.

Rather pathetic that you think you could differentiate an autodidact from a graduate of the School of Alexandria. I was born in 310BCE, [wikipedia.org] and as I said, there were no Boards or Regents, or even Chancellors. The Chancellor is the King's representative on Campus, and the first one was imposed upon Oxford in 1201 [wikipedia.org], free scholars such as Alexandria was need no such fetters. So, do you actually know what epistemology is, and why it is relevant to this thread?

No time machine, I just keep failing to die. Kind of a pain, since I am not getting any younger. But, it does give me perspective that few have, and I have an obligation to share that, more or less. And, you are correct. Runaway is an idiot, so he does not recognize that things like "accreditation" are only necessary when higher education starts to be perceived as a consumer good, and not what it actually is, the path to liberty for human beings. The School of Alexandria needs no certification that its own reputation does not give it, much like Oxford and the University of Paris do not really need any santion. They do not have to worry about who knocks, they are the Unversities that knock. And our poor Runaway, salt of the earth and truck-driving man that he is, has no clue about what those who are more educated than him know. And so, we are constantly bombarded with Runaway ignorance, which, sort of, is a good thing. Quick, Runaway!!! What is that average air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

There were no "trucks" in Alexandria, circa 280 BCE. Mostly Dhows. We would get food from the non-white farmers down the road.
More recently I had the opportunity to participate in an academic strike at an American University. The Teamsters showed up and walked our picket line. No one even thought of trying to cross, while they were there, and I thought, "How nice that these gentlemen are on our side!" Runaway strikes me as renegade scab driver.

Speaking from the experience of a friend, the union says "Go walk that picket line if you want to keep working" -- so they do. It's actually required; it's not optional. Kinda like union dues, except extracted as time.
