Meanwhile flat earth videos are okay

Flat earthers don't have the effect that their viewers go around shooting people.

Far-right content creators on the other hand enable terrorists like the Christchurch perpetrator.

I've seen dozens of instances of serious racial violence by blm activists recorded in the last few weeks and cheered on by thousands of YouTube videos demanding even more, surely that counts as "enabling terrorists"? Hate crimes units across the country are investigating racially motivated attacks spurring entirely from blm.

You won't see these people happily wanting a race war being banned though.

Some of the leaders are literally calling for whites to wiped out.

The fact that you don't even reference a popular youtube content creators to support your stupid argument shows its value.

Also, both last links are from a cherry-picking entertainment and blog sites, not news sites that actually have editors and the desire to check sources.

Because if the 4th branch of government doesn't report it, it didn't happen. Oddly enough, the older white woman who was shot a block from my house Friday night in a random drive-by shooting didn't get reported. The gunshot and scream must have been faked.

I don’t think you have an argument against the banning of the YouTube channel, more of a call to hypocrisy. I think these are two separate issues and you should not be conflating them.

Shooting people is already illegal. Don't be afraid of information.

I mean are flat earthers really so evil that they need to be scrubbed from existence? If somebody is dumb enough to believe the earth is flat then they're surely not in any position where knowing the earth is round would be important to their job.

If anything these videos should continue to exist as a siren call for increased education funding and initiatives.
