The YouTube Ρurge Is In Full Swing: Ρress For Τruth's Dan Dicks Receives Strike And Is Censored

in #steemit7 years ago

Then they came for the journalists and there was no one left to report on anything...

The great YouTube purge of 2018 is in full effect as the Press For Truth YouTube channel just received it's first community guidelines strike for a video that was posted over 5 years ago. This is rampant censorship on steroids and therefore we need to promote Steemit and DTube now more than ever!

In this video

Dan Dicks of Press For Truth goes over the recent strike on the PFT channel, what it means for PFT and more importantly what you can do about it!

note: we also have an issue of one of the steemit tech team heavily flagging posts he disagrees with (on the topic of vaccines):

when censorship happens to others on steemit you dont care but when it happens to you on youtube its a problem?

Maybe semantic issue of deleting videos or accounts vs flag but content remains?

maybe but they are both censorship according to the definition of censorship. if one is worse or better wasent part of the argument as far as i knew.
:D

censorship

i have proven all you say as to be lies, your links to evidence only end up proving you wrong yet you keep repeting the same lies over and over as if someone is going to believe you.

I am done replying to you , have fun writing 50 million more books parroting the same lies over and over and filling my comment feed for a couple days like you do every time you see me talking to someone on steemit.

smfh

When did this happen?

when did censorship happen on steemit?

its been going on from the beggining and is going on right now.

I didn't hear him say that he didn't care nor was he acting as such, so your comment doesn't make sense to me. Maybe I'm missing something.

He has had people call him out on live chats about the censorship on this platform and he dodges the question and parrots the lie that there is no censorship but then adds a "but someone could if they had the power but thats not going to happen" when it is happening and been happening from the begining of the platform.

it wasent something he said on this post, i just found it funny that when other people try to get him to talk about the censorship on steemit (in live chat promiting steemit) he goes quiet but when he gets censored it suddenly becomes an issue. Im sure if his account was to get censored here on steemit he would all of a sudden start talking about it.

I use to love press for truth but the moment i realized dan was willing to flat out lie about steemit to make it sound better while he shilled for it so he could get some extra cash from the platform was the moment i realized i could no longer trust anything that comes from press for truth.
if they are willing to deniy that censorship happens on this platform for 5 bucks in upvotes then no clue what they are willing to say for a real chunk of money.

Thank you for taking the time to respond so clearly and thoroughly. I really appreciate that. I'm a complete noob here (today is my first day), but I just read through the post and comments @ https://steemit.com/steemit/@ura-soul/ah5k59ya regarding censorship and how it occurs here on Steemit. I found the whole censorship situation (via flagging if I understand correctly) to be quite surprising and discouraging. Glad to be here though as it still seems better than the situation on YouTube. Maybe...

its a great platform in my opinion but some things need to be fixed.
Welcome to steemit by the way. there are alot of great people on here, its better to not dive down the steemit censorship tunnel yet. lol its deep.

If enough anticensorship people arive from the comming migration maybe something can finally be done about it.
As of right now its just better to accept it for what it is. sjw controled censorship where the meanings of words can be changed at any moment to mean anything that supports their narritive.

sry bout the rant.
lol

Have a great evening and steem on!
:D

Thank you, and rant on! :D

At this time, I am really a content consumer, not a content producer, with the exception of comments. Nonetheless, the reason that I'm here on steemit is because of the growing censorship on YouTube, FB, etc.

And that is why I've dived into the censorship subject right away. If this is only going to be another platform to be censored, I don't want to waste my time and energy getting up to speed only to discover that it's as bad as, or worse than, YouTube/FB. I am still hopeful that that is not the case.

Hey, by the way, is that "L" from Death Note? Amazing anime.

Yeah its L, love that anime.
lol

You can make more from comments then posts alot of the time. (especially if you make a comment on a whales post thats stroking their ego*)

I originally came here from twexit back in 2016 for the same reasons as i was told this was a free speech and anti censorship platform.

I dont want to rag on the platform to bad to someone new, i do love this place and still believe it has great potential. i have made some good friends and had some great conversations and have made a little bit of money too. with that said.....

there is censorship on steemit if you define censorship as the "suppression of information". things can change with the forks and they are slowly getting better.

I wouldnt say its horrible, but its better then anything else i have come across yet. yours.org makes you pay to post and comment and after i posted about an exploit in their system they erased all my posts and comments and blocked my account. lol

As long as you dont learn about how the steemit system works or start calling out corruption or the whales on the platform you should be fine. lol

Its just the first day........

I would say stick around, you could have alot of fun. but i wouldnt stop looking for other platforms like i did. sooner or later someone will create a trully free speech anti-censorship platform and we will all flock there so quick they servers will crash for two weeks like sealion.club had happen before it got sold and censored. lol

If you find something better let me know but as of right now this shitstorm called steemit is the best i know of.

:D

Someone was saying how Alex Jones has basically been shut down...

Infowar is still alive

DLive has your back. Flee Canada while they still let you.

Youtube will not changed its policy, I think.

where i can do photography course?

Plz vote, follow and comment on my blog and post. Thank you.

Normally seeing a comment or post from an account with less reputation than mine and containing good content will get an upvote from me. The one penny from my reward will not take one far yet ones reputation can be helped with such an upvote.

Whining and begging for follows and upvotes normally has me passing the post or comment by. In this one case lets make an exception in hopes of changing your bad habits. 😎

R.I.P. Youtube, long live DTUBE!!

Sorry to hear this Dan. Meanwhile, the US supported terrorists are allowed a free pass to post as they like. The You Tube hypocrisy is on full display.

youtube must be taken down by the same people that built it up. Let's keep up the pressure and move to more secure platforms.
