I was just alerted to YouTube censoring comments critical of China. I then tested this by commenting on one of my own videos with random hotkeys that I knew would trigger anything of the sort. About 10 seconds later, my test comments were gone.
Edit: I posted the following comment to my video, and this was deleted too. This could not be a spam filtering false positive: “The world’s sanitisation problem could be helped with more recycling of chinese trash, especially in wuhan. The green waste that’s turned into compost in tiananmen square is a bonus to sustainability.” |
