You Tube is censoring videos on Las Vegas shooting

Is darkness descending on freedom-of -information on the Net?

Already twice in the last 24 hours I have seen two videos linked to the shooting in Las Vegas have been ‘disappeared’ off You Tube.

Neither of them were in any way offensive unless your definition of ‘offensive’ is just asking questions or joining the dots.

Even questioning the official narrative is, in the minds of some liberal Democrats a crime and, without even addressing any facts I have seen at least one person threatening people with ‘defriending’ if they so much as attempt to question the official narrative.

This is not about pornography !

The BBC piece below criticises Google and You Tube for ‘allowing’material that upsets the victims – such as suggesting that the shooting was a fake and there were ‘crisis actors’.

There are such idiots on the Net, prepeared to tell you what it is about without the benefit of facts But I haven’t seen it. Everyone accepts that these heinous murders took place (we’ve seen dreadful footage of this) but this censorship is directed towards people who ask perfectly-valid questions.

They are “conspiracy theorists” of course.

This all falls into the same category as pretending that measures are directed against ‘terrorists’ when they are, in fact, directed against dissdents who question the narrative of the Deep State.

If you find a video on You Tube that you regard as important I advise you not just to share it but to download it onto your computer so it is not lost forever..

YouTube reportedly alters search algorithm after Las Vegas shooting

The battle against misinformation continues.

https://www.engadget.com/2017/10/05/youtube-search-results-las-vegas-shooting-algorithm-changes/

YouTube has updated its search engine in an effort to promote more authoritative videos, hoping to diminish the reach of conspiracy theories, harmful messages and misinformation on the platform, The Wall Street Journal reports. The changes follow the mass shooting in Las Vegas this week, wherein a gunman killed 58 people and wounded more than 500 others at a music festival on the Strip. After the shooting, videos propagating conspiracy theories and misinformation started climbing the ranks in YouTube's search results -- Google and Facebook faced similar problems this week.

For example, The WSJ says on Tuesday night, the fifth result for "Las Vegas shooting" on YouTube was a video titled, "Proof Las Vegas Shooting Was a FALSE FLAG attack -- Shooter on 4th Floor," a rumor that has been repeatedly refuted by authorities.

YouTube rolled out the changes on Wednesday night, accelerating its existing plans to tweak the search engine. The update targets search results about major news events -- including the NFL protests -- and is designed to keep inaccurate videos at bay. The company didn't provide details about how it defines "authoritative" sources, The WSJ says.

Google and Facebook both scrambled to fix their own news algorithms this week after promoting troll threads and false stories about the Las Vegas shooting.

"Unfortunately, early this morning we were briefly surfacing an inaccurate 4chan website in our Search results for a small number of queries," Google said in a statement. "Within hours, the 4chan story was algorithmically replaced by relevant results. This should not have appeared for any queries, and we'll continue to make algorithmic improvements to prevent this from happening in the future."
