It has become the most powerful company in the world.

Power corrupts and ultimate power corrupts ultimately.

Let's hope that it's tentacles do not strangle Seabreeze.

Their censorship is not that extensive seeing as this was posted on You Tube (a Google platform)

If Google threatens to cut off advertising for a company, then it's Google that is losing revenue, not the company. They are doing so to disassociate themselves with receiving revenue from "extremist" (I haven't seen them myself, so quotes) sites. I wonder if SeaBreeze wouldn't do the same?

...and another thing; I see these people getting all upset that Twitter, YouTube, et al are censoring and/or adding warning labels and/or banning people from their platform.

...their platform. They can do what they want with it.

"Tries" to censor?!

Just wait till they find Heavy Weather.

My understanding is that HW is blocked to web-crawlers, so none of the content is cached, or visible to external users without a user-id, and an old one at that.

Good thing that!

So the world will never know of the brilliance of the empirical one. They can never search about a topic they need to be educated on such as 9/11 or the Palestinian occupation if gaza and be set on the right path?! What a shame

So you are saying you are the ideal subject? That explains a lot.

Sigh, the ideal subject of stupidity is misquoting by using a second source quote and not going to the original source for context.

Do you have a personal opinion on this? Grow a set and make that comment. Posting links means nothing other than you are appearing to be a sheep and have no opinion at all.

Anything that is branded as hate speech or misinformation is to be censored.

So true, but....

I reckon we should also take a long hard look at our own censorship issues.

Look at how we treat whistleblowers for example, with the secretly tried case about the bugging of a foreign government's parliament in order to gain an advantage in a bid to exploit another nation's resources.

The whistleblower gets silenced, treated like a criminal and tried in secret, while the real alleged criminals, possibly shall we say the government of the day and the mining corporations it protects gets away with espionage.

Of course, this is purely hypothetical and could not happen in a country that purports to be free and democratic and governed for the good of all so please, move along....move along
