YouTube bans videos containing hacked information that could interfere with the election:
As Democrats and Republicans prepare to hold their national conventions starting next week, YouTube on Thursday announced updates to its policies on deceptive videos and other content designed to interfere with the election.
The world's largest video platform, with more than 2 billion users a month, will ban videos containing information that was obtained through hacking and could meddle with elections or censuses. That would include material like hacked campaign emails with details about a candidate. The update follows the announcement of a similar rule that Google, which owns YouTube, unveiled earlier this month banning ads that contain hacked information. Google will start enforcing that policy Sept. 1.
YouTube also said it will take down videos that encourage people to interfere with voting and other democratic processes. For example, videos telling people to create long lines at polling places in order to stifle the vote won't be allowed.
[...] YouTube has also tried to secure its platform from foreign actors. Last week, the company said it banned almost 2,600 channels linked to China as part of investigations into "coordinated influence operations" on the site. YouTube also took down dozens of channels linked to Russia and Iran that had apparent ties to influence campaigns.

Uhhhhh - capitalism is a fairly recent development, measured in hundreds of years. If you were paying attention in school, you would know that our recorded history extends back thousands of years. Can you spell "Babylon"? Or "Greece"? How about "Egypt"? "China" and "Laos" would be good. Try "Indus". Bonus points if you can spell "Jiahu".
So, the ills of humanity can be blamed on something other than capitalism for most of recorded history, and all of pre-history.

Could you please go take your stupid somewhere else? You contradict yourself 1/2 the time, hold hypocritical viewpoints, and you support fascism cause "dem leftists" with no concrete rationale beyond "some people rioted" while saying mass shooters are just "lone nuts."
It is too much, you're too old and stupid, lucky for you we have a constitution that works to protect your existence. Sadly for you, you are working hard to help fascists undermine your own protections.
You're such a fool.
