When Alex Jones and Milo were targeted, conservatives were furious that "conservative ideology" was being censored. I understand that this doesn't apply to this specific case but conservatives have let this shit fester and now the chickens are coming home to roost.
It seems that the NBC article was an example of card_sultan getting an internship as a journalist so it's really difficult to get the facts of the case. However, it's pretty clear that this isn't a blanket demonetization of the organizations as a whole. I've also read that Google does this to TONS of websites (including YouTube) and that they work with the organizations/content creators to get this right.
I'm definitely on the side of limiting the power of tech giants. They have more power than most governments which is pretty scary.
two loudmouth agent provocateurs with questionable at best backgrounds, boo-hoo. hardly the same thing as google saying 'the comment sections on your website are equivalent to the content your writers produce, so for that you are demonetized.'
yes websites should enforce their terms of use and yes, tech giants have monopoly-levels of power now.
and lol @card_sultan anology
