YouTube says it'll ban accounts that promote Nazism or deny Sandy Hook massacre

[Beemer]

YouTube says it will ban supremacist content and remove videos that deny well-documented atrocities, like the Holocaust and the massacre at Sandy Hook elementary school. The company says it will be removing hundreds of thousands of videos that hadn't previously been considered in violation of its rules.

The move comes as the the video service, owned by Google, faces increasing scrutiny for hosting extreme and divisive content.

WTF? Why would anyone deny Sandy Hook?

There is a truly evil subclass of conspiracy theorists intent on tormenting the parents of slain children from Sandy Hook.

Pete you didn't know this has been going on. Those people who got killed where bad actors in a government false flag operation so your guns can be taken away. It was also probably perpetrated by the the secret government run by the lizard people.

Lizard people? That's ridiculous. Everyone knows it's the Jews.

You mean the Jewish Illuminati.

my phone just autocorrected Illuminati by capitalizing it...

Because every time there's a school shooting, it gives fuel to the anti-gun establishment, and Sandy Hook was about as horrific as it could get.

Combine imagery of cops holding a shotgun with evidence tag at the scene, with verbal reports from the news outlets that it was an assault rifle, and the vigorous response from the Obama administration and several state governments, and somebody was bound to come up with alternate explanations.

furthermore, the shooter had to be passed/buzzed through a manned, locked gate to get in to the campus, and there are a lot of people suspicious as to how he managed to do it while holding a rifle.

The first amendment may be more vulnerable than the second.

dusty (doesn’t think mass shootings are false flags, now, but after enough media controls they could be, and we wouldn’t have the means to know better)
