YouTube demonetizes video of ex-presidential candidate for criticizing Trump’s policy on Afghanistan

Almaty. August 29. Silkroadnews – YouTube demonetized video of ex-presidential candidate Ron Paul for criticizing Trump’s policy on Afghanistan, U.S. information portal Breitbart reported.
“YouTube has reportedly demonetized a number of videos from former presidential candidate Ron Paul following an announcement that the company would be censoring the platform to an even greater degree”, the statement said.
It is explained, the founder of WikiLeaks Julian Assange posted on Twitter screenshots, which show that several recent videos from Paul Ron were recognized as “not suitable for advertisers” and were subsequently restricted.
J. Assange also claimed that the video was demonized “for criticizing U.S. foreign policy on Afghanistan and WikiLeaks”.
“The videos included: “Julian Assange to join us at Ron Paul Institute Conference 2017,” “Senate Declared War On Wikileaks – With Philip Giraldi,” “Pentagon Attacks Extremists At Home… But Finances Them Overseas,” “Trump’s ‘New’ Afghan Strategy: Protect The Empire,” and “Trump’s Afghanistan Strategy: What To Expect. With Jacob Hornberger”, report says.
According to the publication, Google began to control YouTube like never before.
“Google will police YouTube like it never has before, adding warnings and disabling advertising on videos that the company determines crosses its new threshold for offensive content”, the publication reads.
As reported, over the past year, several large and well-known content creators on YouTube have revealed they no longer make money on videos under measures to demonize unwanted content. Among them, popular conservative commentators such as Diamond and Silk and Prager U, as well as some of the largest video creators, specializing in various fields – from comedy and politics to sex education and games. A popular method of YouTube is “age-restrict” video, which is not suitable for advertisers, which leads to the inability to earn money from advertisement.
“Earlier this month, YouTube also declared that if “enough users flag a video as ‘hate speech’ or ‘violent extremism,’ YouTube may impose restrictions on the content even if it breaks none of the platform’s rules,” publication reads.
The company also announced a partnership with a supportive left-wing Anti-Defamation League, which previously accused Trump supporters of inciting anti-Semitism, added the popular cartoon frog meme to its Hate Symbol Database, and attempted to offend Stephen K. Bannon, Breitbart News Executive Chairman.
