YouTube Suspends Account of Popular Chinese Dissident (freebeacon.com)

schwit1 brings news about an exiled Chinese billionaire with 500,000 followers on YouTube. The Washington Free Beacon reports:YouTube has suspended the video account of popular Chinese dissident Guo Wengui amid a mounting pressure from the Beijing government to silence one of its critics. According to a person familiar with the action, YouTube issued what the company calls a 'strike' against Guo, who since the beginning of the year has created an online sensation by posting lengthy videos in which he reveals details of corruption by senior Chinese officials. The suspension involves a 90-day block on any new live-stream postings of videos and was the result of a complaint made against a recent Guo video for alleged harassment. The identity of the person or institution who issued the complaint could not be learned... Other videos by Guo posted prior to the suspension remain accessible.
The suspension coincides with this week's once-every-five-years congress of the Chinese Communist party to reveal which top officials will serve President Xi Jinping, according to Financial Times, adding that "China's choreographed politics is not designed for public participation or questioning."

    A lot can be said about the character of the person Guo Wengui if you look into it. Although to call him a bad guy, you have to read too much into it. None of us are all good. At the end of the day, he is a hero among the Chinese for valid reasons. Google\YouTube's pick-and-choose who gets banned, demonetized, or just plain buried because our algorithms aren't good enough so we have our Sjw's on the case mentality is only supported by them being a private company, and a total and complete monopoly. Google, as an extremists ultra far left company is taking advantage of their position in so many disgusting ways.YouTube's great potential has been squandered by Google, a company that somehow manages to maintain an average employee age of 29 and values enforced "diversity" above results and hard word, not to mention above lucid,objective thinking. For fucks sake, at Google, they have a weekly microaggression newsletter that they then have meetings about.

    Google is already a bunch of commies. So it's no wonder.

    Their biggest problem right now, is how to eliminate all ideology opposed to their ultra far left SJW culture, without losing 3/4 of their subscribers.

    I can't even find any videos exposing YouTube through Earnest Pettie, and the full length is about as damning as can be.

    "Do No Evil" has become highly subjective at Google\YouTube\Alphabet. I predict that within a decade, Alphabet will prove to be the next big company too big to fail. When it happens, it will happen fast.
