As of this writing, journalist Ford Fischer is still completely demonetized on YouTube as the result of a new set of rules that were put in place because of some doofy Twitter drama
between some unfunny asshole named Steven Crowder and some infantile
narcissist who thinks the world revolves around his opinions named
Carlos Maza. It remains an unknown if Fischer will ever be restored to
an important source of income around which he has built his livelihood.
Fischer
often covers white supremacist rallies and counter-protests, and his
channel was demonetized within minutes of YouTube’s new rules against
hate speech going into effect because some of his content, as you’d
expect, includes white supremacists saying and doing white supremacist
things. Maza, a Vox reporter who launched a viral Twitter campaign
to have Crowder removed from YouTube for making homophobic and bigoted
comments about him on his channel, expressed concern over Fischer’s
financial censorship.
“What’s happening to Ford is fucking awful,” Maza tweeted
yesterday. “He’s a good journalist doing important work. I don’t
understand how YouTube is still so bad at this. How can they not
differentiate between white supremacist content and good faith reporting
on white supremacy?”..........http://www.unz.com/cjohnstone/people-who-support-internet-censorship-are-infantile-narcissists/
