So various governments calling up Google to stealthily edit out video content they don't agree with or might be harmful to them, doesn't concern you?

Well that's fine, but please don't pretend this is a practice other people shouldn't be concerned about.

It's something that worries me. Erasing or changing data is a lot easier than book burning. Stalin's non-people for the 21st century.

I would be more concerned about people trusting content uploaded to YouTube as something that has meaningful, long-term political value.

It's getting harder and harder to trust anything today. Downloaded files can be fabricated. So can be paper photographs. Or old newspapers.

Welcome to XXI century.
