> Would you be making the same points if the debate was about ISIS propaganda?
It doesn't matter, that's a fallacious comparison. It's not what the videos are about, and even if it was, who decides what is pro-ISIS propaganda and what is just discussion about what ISIS was doing? For years Youtube has been de-platforming anything that is not advertising friendly using AI, often de-listing videos altogether, with very little recourse unless you know someone who works at Youtube.
How would you make YouTube better? Monetise all content regardless of what advertisers say? Never remove any videos? Have courts make decisions whether video should be removed or not? Hire more human moderators as if humans are somehow super reliable and never make mistakes? I'm genuinely curious.
