content: Quote from: blueskull on November 13, 2017, 03:14:48 amYes, but it is actively manipulating search results for topics it doesn't like.The video might still be there, so "free speech" is still being maintained, but it's harder for people to find your content.It's a bigger issue than just the monetisation.

IIRC at least two liberal (or right-wing depending on who you talk to) commentators have been banned from Patreon and Twitter.The ideological patrolling will keep the James Damore imbroglio alive, with its deep divide and puerile arguments about genre being thrown to the ether.
