Why I'm a Defender of YouTube (vortex.com)

Lauren Weinstein writes: In a time of fascist politicians spouting simplistic slogans about race, religion, terrorism, and censorship, along with whatever other pandering platitudes they believe will win them votes, prestige, power, and control — it's worth remembering how much good the Internet brings us, and how much poorer we'd all be in so many ways for the shackling of Internet services like YouTube, in the name of such self-serving proclamations and damaging false solutions.

Re: YouTube is TRUTH!

[PopeRatzo]

You can't have the truth without also having it blended with various things that ain't true.

That's stupid.

If you don't go through the content you refer to, fact check them, and decide for yourself if they are true or not

Except you're not in a position to fact-check anything yourself. You're just going to go look at other sources, that uncurated, may or may not be true.

You are making unfounded claims about them.

What "unfounded claims"?
