YouTube has banned videos that show people how to manufacture or modify guns and their accessories. It had already banned videos linked to the sale of guns and accessories. Many firearms enthusiasts noticed that some of their videos had been removed from the video-sharing website and some had their channels suspended. Prominent gun video-bloggers said the move was an erosion of US citizens' rights, and some said they would move their content to PornHub instead. YouTube's policies now prohibit videos that: The change was met with anger from some videomakers who modify guns and show off their creations as a hobby. Karl Kasarda and Ian McCollum, who run the gun review site InRangeTV, said they had started posting their videos on Facebook and pornography site PornHub. "We will not be seeking any monetisation from PornHub... we are merely looking for a safe harbour for our content and for our viewers," the pair said in a statement. Firearms manufacturer Spike's Tactical said the change reflected attempts to "slowly chip away at our freedoms and erode our rights". Videomaker Joerg Sprave said he appreciated YouTube was "now defining their guidelines" more clearly. But he said the change had been introduced without a transitional period. "Many gun channels must now be afraid," he told news site Motherboard. "They should at least get some time to clean up their videos so the new rules are kept." On Tuesday, YouTube was criticised after the Sun newspaper found step-by-step instructions on how to build an air rifle on YouTube Kids, the company's app for children. Despite being designed for children, its content is curated by algorithms. Inappropriate videos have repeatedly slipped through the net. In February, the BBC's Newsround programme found instructions on how to sharpen knives on YouTube Kids. At the time, YouTube said it had a variety of processes in place to try to prevent inappropriate material appearing on its platforms. Poster Comment:

Willie, seriously -- what's your opinion on Social Media monopolies that selectively censor freedoms and truths based solely on ideology? Doesn't it reek exactly of what JR did over at FR? (Fall in line OR ELSE!)
Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg Wants to Be Regulated, Here’s Why http://www.independentsentinel.com/facebooks-mark-zuckerberg-wants-to-be- regulated-heres-why/ Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
Lucianne Goldberg is the only one I can remember who actually backstabbed Stumpy Robinson and tried to steel FReepers away from him. (Called him a "mean little shit" or something like that...) Anyway... Ol' Jimbo's schizophrenia sooner or later drove everybody else away... But any website based solely on ideology is gonna become an Echo Chamber for the dumbed-down faithful... and they'll censor anything that doesn't fit... It doesn't have to be about politics... websites devoted to "religion A" don't want anybody promoting "religion B or C" or any other "heresy"... And websites about pet cats don't want to listen to heresy about dogs, goldfish or parakeets... But none of that has to do with YouTube... YouTube isn't about ideology... It's about making money... and about appealing to the widest audience and avoiding controversy And right now, guns & the NRA are bad publicity that YouTube (and I assume Facebook and others) don't want to be associated with... Don't like it? Go somewhere else... (They're not a monopoly.) 10 Video Sites That Are Better Than YouTube Whether those other sites host gun videos, I can't say for sure... I'm just a weary old geezer... and the Internet has grown much larger than I could've imagined 20 years ago...
You're really not paying any attention, then. YouTube is banning/censoring/culling CONSERVATIVES and monetized profits under the guise of "Fake News." (Just like JR's banning of those who don't toe the line at FR.) Don't like it? Go somewhere else... (They're not a monopoly.) So you're saying, "Tough sh*t."? And YES, Youtube IS a "Monopoly." Just like Facebook and G00gle. If you're going to be consistent in your perpetual whining about FR, ALL censorship is equal. But you're not Willie, are you? That makes you...a hypocrite. I was hoping for a little intellectual honesty from you, but I see you just don't have it in you anymore. Too bad.
They must have quickly removed that link; OTHER leftist sites again covering for one another. Buy yes, I know -- Zuckerberg begging to be regulated NOW would mean others (like conservative Social Media Outlets) will have a hard time jumping through feral hoops and invading his "turf." What a typical weaselly Commie-Leftist. He's got HIS now and that's all that matters.
You wouldn't know intellectual honesty if it bit you in the ass... But I'll ping tpaine for you...
Yeah. I just go there for the articles.
Sorry Willie. I call 'em as I see 'em. Betcha my lens would be consensus here. OR at FR.
LOL! Well I bet that would sure make your momma proud...
Me too.
I'll ping tpaine for you... I haven't seen the old coot in a while... But assuming he hasn't kicked the bucket, maybe he'd enjoy running you around in circles on that topic for a while... ---- Willie Green I'm still around, but getting tired at the lack of honesty everywhere, -- not that LF has been a bastion. In fact, liberator has more than most around here, -- honesty that is... As for intellectual powers, it's sorely lacking in a!l of us, sadly -- imho. ;-) Thanks for the ping..
Hear ya. The culture (led by Media) itself seems to have corrupted truth and honesty for agenda's sake. In fact, liberator has more than most around here, -- honesty that is... Thanks. I also appreciate yours. At least we both understand that though we may not agree on certain subjects, our opinions are at least intellectually honest. As for intellectual powers, it's sorely lacking in a!l of us, sadly -- imho. ;-) Maybe that's a subconscious reason for a recent post of mine on supplemental "mental clarity" aids ;-)
It's still up... Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg Wants to Be Regulated, Here’s Why By S.Noble - March 22, 2018 1 Share So-called victim Mark Zuckerberg wants Facebook regulated after the overblown crisis that has arisen over the use of Facebook member data by Cambridge Analytica. Analytica is tied to the wealthy conservative Mercers and, at one point, Steve Bannon. That is the only reason people care that they mined data of people without their knowledge. No one is talking about Barack Obama doing the exact same thing in 2012. IJR reported that Carol Davidson, former director of integration and media analytics for Obama for America [OFA], said Facebook discovered their campaign was misusing Facebook to massively mine user data by “sucking out the whole social graph.” They allowed it because they agreed with OFA. Like Cambridge Analytica, Obama for America was able to look at a user’s friend list once they applied for the Obama campaign. The campaign then used the data to append their email list. It was called “targeted sharing.” An insider at Facebook named Sandy Parakilas told the Guardian he found it “horrifying” that numerous companies deployed these techniques used by Analytica, possibly affecting hundreds of millions of Facebook users. It wasn’t only Cambridge or OFA mining data, it was numerous companies. Between 2011 and 2012, Parakilas was one of the software engineers policing possible third-party breaches. He found these flaws and warned the senior management they risked serious breaches. No one cared. So why would Zuckerberg want Facebook and other social media platforms regulated? For one thing, he has plenty of money and doesn’t have to worry about financial security, but, still, why do it? Reason.com has the answer — it locks in his position. Zuckerberg is pushing for regulation. “The question,” he told Wired‘s Nicholas Thompson, “isn’t ‘Should there be regulation or shouldn’t there be?’ It’s ‘How do you do it?'” On CNN, he said, “I actually am not sure we shouldn’t be regulated. I think in general technology is an increasingly important trend in the world. I think the question is more what is the right regulation rather than ‘yes or no should we be regulated?'” WHY WOULD ZUCKERBERG WANT REGULATION? Reason’s Nick Gillespie writes: …Zuckerberg is using these incidents as a way to cement Facebook’s centrality in a radically volatile social-media landscape. He has been losing younger users. Zuckerberg knows what happened to MySpace and Friendster. They disappeared and he could too. If he supports it and even embraces and shapes the regulation, it will ensure his longevity. It will also ensure more censorship. Censorship Facebook is currently guaranteeing only real news will appear on the pages and so is Google. The real news to them is mainstream fake news. Keep in mind that the left always wants to censor the right in the media. It’s not the other way around. Make no mistake, regulation will further limit Conservative and Libertarian influence on Facebook. Cambridge Analytica is being made into a criminal organization that did something unusual and took advantage of poor Zuckerberg. The algorithm changes have disproportionately harmed conservative publishers, tech website The Outline concluded in a lengthy report earlier in March. Conservative and right-wing publishers “were hit the hardest” by the algorithm change, the report found, “while the engagement numbers of most predominantly liberal publishers remained unaffected.” Do believe the right is being censored — check out my graph since the censorship algorithm has been employed on Facebook. Zuckerberg didn’t care at all when Organizing for America and other left-wing groups mined data. He’s not being honest here.

Yup. We're not gonna get THAT truth or fact either. We'll watch as the entire Left covers for the punk and spins Zuck's lies -- that he didn't agree to mine, harvest then share/sell private data. And the biggest Lefty lie -- that Zuckerberg is a VICTIM. What a lying vampire. Facebook is currently guaranteeing only real news will appear on the pages and so is Google. The real news to them is mainstream fake news. Keep in mind that the left always wants to censor the right in the media. It’s not the other way around. Make no mistake, regulation will further limit Conservative and Libertarian influence on Facebook. Cambridge Analytica is being made into a criminal organization that did something unusual and took advantage of poor Zuckerberg. Sickening. But that is THE truth. We know the Left (thru FB, G00gle, Yahoo, etal) is attempting to both monopolize "news" and crown themselves "Arbiter" of "news". Trump had better bust some moves on our behalf.
