Ep. 668 Russia Threatens to BAN YouTube!!!

Broadcast on:
29 Sep 2021

Highlights:  

  • “It’s being widely reported that the Russian Federation is threatening to ban YouTube in retaliation for YouTube blocking 2 German-languaged channels managed by the Russia Today broadcast network.”
  • “Ironically just last month, the chief executive of YouTube, Susan Wojcicki, reiterated YouTube’s commitment to free speech as its ‘core value of the company’ and that their Terms of Service is ‘fully consistent with that value’. Needless to say, Russia is not buying it and as of today the government is threatening to ban YouTube outright unless the channels are reinstated.”
  • “The backlash against Big Tech is real and it’s only going to get worse given the polls that have been coming out of late. Gallup’s tracking of public sentiment towards BigTech shows that positive views have fallen from 46% in 2019 to just 34% today. Nearly 60% want more government regulation of Big Tech companies, up 9 points from 2019.”
