Listener comments!
He's a youtuber from the beginning, who has long been embroiled with scandals involving being inappropriate to underage women. and YouTube won't take any action to penalize him, even though his Patreon and Instagram have been taken down. Chris Hansen of To Catch a Predator fame has started investigating Onision, and for months now, at the end of each interview, Hansen asks the woman who heads YouTube to come and speak to him.
The forbidden words, like "predator" can't be said lest videos get demonized (how does someone post a documentary about lions?!), and yet, this Onision guy was posting images of 15 year olds and rating them with utter impunity.
There is no alternative
Once you upload to YouTube they own the rights to do whatever they want with that content as does FB when you upload pictures etc.
As adults, we all must learn the art of editing. I've even explained this to my children, to make them aware of what they are watching, learning, exposed to and digest. We must use our money to cast our real vote$. Thank you.
Because the other edge of that sword is when Google can make more money doing something *else* with everyone's e-mail or videos and Gmail and Youtube or whatever other product just disappear. Because, again, we are not the users. We are the product.
he thinks google is benevolent and thinks apple also works hard to protect your privacy...but not as hard as google.
Imagine we had choices for Tech here...
No Digital Free Market.
