    Highlight clip from the 2021 Free Expression Awards honoring YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki. The video became notable for its overwhelmingly negative like/dislike ratio.

    Cited as an ironic example of YouTube receiving a free expression award, and as a showcase of the public dislike count before it was hidden.

      Previously YouTube incompetently censored discussion of lab leak theory, allowing misinformation to fester on the platform. [1] YouTube's Trust and Safety team are actively malicious at this point. This was no error. They regularly censor correct information based on the current thinking among the orthodoxy, which I highly suspect is operating in a cartel manner to censor like-minded topics (hence why FB also sloppily censored the same topic). Don't worry though, YouTube has been awarded a Free Expression Award from an organization sponsored by... YouTube. [2] [1] [LINK] [2] this video

    2. @0xySep 2021· in “YouTube's CEO says free speech is a 'core value' even after removing videos”

      Susan Wojcicki was awarded a "Free Expression Award" from a company sponsored by... YouTube. [1] This isn't surprising. YouTube is the home of censorship, and any proclamations of "free speech" are merely corporate marketing. I don't know how software engineers at YouTube justify to themselves that they're working for a free speech company, given they can easily see the code that "deboosts" content for political reasons, and other censorship.

      it is unacceptable that goodthink content that promotes correct opinions gets ratioed and ridiculed. the writing was on the wall for a while. this was probably the final nail in the coffin: this video kudos to our billionaire overlords, celebrities and their first world cosmopolitan yuppie congregation for looking out for us unwashed, uneducated plebeians. without their guidance, we'd be lost.

      Rewind is kind of old news. Now that time YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki received a Free Expression Award from an organisation sponsored by YouTube[1] is more recent and something else completely, ratio-wise. Currently at 56,502 dislikes vs 226 likes. Which is a ratio of over 250×. [1]: this video

    5. @beshrkayaliApr 2021· in “YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki Gets 'Freedom Expression' Award Sponsored by YouTube”

      In the video, she calls speech they don’t agree with “censorship” and actual censorship “freedom of expression”. If this isn’t a prime example of doublespeak I don’t know what is. this video
