Google's AI extreme censorship on youtubes comments hurting truth

3 points_6j8h6 comments

I saw a video of a person on youtube telling people who were less sophisticated in statistics about how blacks,hispanic other races were less effected than white race in COVID, meaning inturn that you guys relax and don't take it serious , when in fact the data he showed of a slide by winscoin department of health services showed completely opposite , the slide clearly says per 100000 from each race in winscoin community , most effected were hispanic,other races etc , only the cases of whites looked greater in number overall , not per 100000. People in youtube comments totaly fell for the misguidance , praising , and saying we are protected , and thanking the guy , i saw it and commented how he is misrepresenting the facts and actually they are 180 degree otherwise , even the data he showed is screaming that he is lying , but youtube AI deleted by comment every time , what is happening is wrong , i am myself an ML engineer and know how AI works , it is such inhuman experience for me , that truth is silenced like that.

I changed by comment so that i just say facts and do not say something insulting , but even those got deleted.I think it is very similar to what Metal Gear solid game predicted , world run by AI's censoring left and right ,it was my first experience with this , and it got me thinking are we heading in right direction , i am myself deeply working on AI research and it shocked me how would a world look like where truth would be censored and people will believe false information.

I'm not trying to be snobbish here, but what on earth is up with the formatting of this post? Plenty of people post here that aren't native English speakers, nothing wrong with that, but the grammar and spelling mistakes aren't consistent with someone who's simply not fluent. They look a lot more like someone who's deliberately trying to appear "unsophisticated" to blend in (a poor strategy on HN, but a pretty effective one on most social media). OP can't even decide whether a comma should have:

1. A space on the right 2. A space on the left AND right 3. No space at all.

They do seem to have decided that commas, are really great ,and should be, used as much as possible even , if they make no sense at all.

Combine this with the fact that OP's account is 4 hours old (created to post this thread) and the suspect flavor of the post (a self post, devoid of links, high in vague political controversy and low in any thoughtful or interesting content (the core of any good HN post)) and I call shenanigans. This is an inorganic attempt at shit-stirring.

It doesn't really matter. Even if you post the truth, you will be called a racist, downvoted, flagged, etc. It even happens on HN. Once people make up their mind, they stick to it as the truth and nothing can change them. I do feel for you though. I bugs me to my core when I see it going on, especially on subjects that the media and government misrepresents, like the gender wage gap.

Chances are, the content creator blacklisted you on his channel. That way your comments are shadow banned forever. You can type all you like, noone will see it.

This is a feature, not a bug.

how can be it instant , the moment i comment , it vanishes , but when i comment on someone else's comment on the same video it shows up and it is not deleted.

What was the video?
