Hope you're keeping ok Velvet.  If it's any consolation.  All my political rants and disagreements on here, well they were tenfold on YouTube and they've closed my account.  This is the outfit that platforms Isis beheading videos, "happy slapping" videos, pro-anorexia channels and far-right channels.  They are supposed to give 3 warnings but gave none.  However, I can live with that and I don't really care if I can't comment on YouTube content.

The thing is they are Yank imperialist corpo fascist gatekeepers and almost every video all over the internet, including product videos links to their absurdly monopolistic site.  These now error out. I have been disenfranchised politically with Keir Starmer and the internet.

So Google knows where we live, has our router details it pilfered with its vans knows what we search for online, can block us from content across the web as almost all content links to YouTube.

Our media is controlled by foreigners, our internet lives are controlled by foreigners. Anyone who thinks we are sovereign country thanks to Brexit really hasn't a clue.  Anyone who thinks the internet is a counterbalance to thought policing really hasn't a clue.

Actually, it's worked in my favour.  Some of my rants were drunken angry self-righteous lefty ones and some were sort of embarrassing. However, none breached their rules as they claim. I don't know what my bosses would have thought if they'd have seen them, freedom of speech and all that but still... So they're all deleted without me taking the trouble myself!

And I can still see their content if I use incognito mode anyway.  They and their content providers can no longer monetise me.  Ha ha! 

On another point, YouTube has even been found to be (obviously inadvertently but still...) hosting "softcore paedophile" videos and member comments.  "Softcore" child sexualisation been alleged and not denied by YouTube.  The advantage to nonce YouTube account holders is they look down the comments sections to other nonce comments and can easily check out the profiles of other paedos on YouTube, check their likes and form a ring.

They should get rid of their "Jimmy Saviles" before they got rid of their "Citizen Smiths".
