MODERATORS
 

YouTube, the world's largest video platform, appears to have changed its moderation policies to allow more content that violates its own rules to remain online.

I made some comments on YouTube over the last week about LAPD and Israel, and all of them have been deleted without notice. Not even a warning of "hey you aren't allowed to talk about that" or "you violated a mysterious rule sometime"

You don't get notified if the channel owner deletes your comment.

Considering the channel owner is heavily left leaning, I don't think it was them but they may be getting extra cautious about what speech they allow, given the current regime.
