YouTube deletes comments critical of China’s Communist party

By Thomas A. Smith

YouTube has admitted that it automatically deleted comments that criticized China s ruling Communist Party (CCP). 

The video platform owned by Google s parent company, Alphabet said the automatic removal of certain comments was down to an error with its automated enforcement systems. The issue was first confirmed to The Verge.

There must be thousands of other youtube posts critical of the CCP that are automatically deleted, demonitized or unsubscribed by the algorithms at Youtube. They are evidently written this way as part of Alphabet’s efforts to suck up to the CCP. In other news, Alphabet is said to be able to decisively influence the outcome of US elections, according to research by a Dr. Epstein.
