Without much fanfare, it appears that Google-owned YouTube has begun censoring and demonetizing video content that is critical of the Obama administration, certain politicians and the federal government generally.
In early September, the UK’s Daily Mail reported on the issue after users of the site began to notice that advertising was being stripped from videos they posted that were critical of government, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and federal agencies like the FBI.
(For the record, as noted by Open Secrets, Clinton is the top recipient of contributions from Alphabet, the company that owns Google.)
With regard to the censoring or demonetizing of videos, YouTube says it is because they violate “advertiser-friendly content guidelines.” But users of the site see another reason: political bias.
