With the passing of Safe Harbor Day, youtube decided to take down any video that claims c***ting took place in the US e******ns. This is YouTubes way of admitting that the e******n is over and it's time to move on. This takes away an important platform for cons to try to press lies that c***ting took place and if Facebook and Twitter follow it will be over for Trump in his effort to steal back the e******n...

YouTube will remove all content that alleges that v***r f***d had any impact on the overall results of the US e******n published from now on, it said in a statement on Wednesday.

The new rule coincides with the "safe harbor" deadline that means all state e******n results are deemed to be conclusive. From now on, US courts are expected to throw out all legal challenges to the e******n result. This effectively ends outgoing US President Donald Trump's attempts to challenge the e******n outcome in court.

YouTube's corporate Twitter account said: "Now that enough states certified their P**********l e******n results, we’ll remove any content published today (or anytime after) that alleges widespread fraud or errors changed the 2020 US P**********l e******n outcome."

Examples of the sort of content it intends to remove are videos that claim Joe Biden won the e******n due to widespread software glitches or counting errors.

It will also update its information panel that it displays under e******n-related videos to note that the e******n results are certified.

"There's always more to do. Striking the balance between openness & responsibility is one of our toughest challenges. We're continuing to make improvements & will apply our learnings from this e******n, globally," it said.

Since September, the Google subsidiary has removed more than 8,000 channels for violating its misinformation policies.

Google, meanwhile will reportedly lift its ban on political ads, according to news site Axios. Google banned political ads in the run-up to the US e******n.

Social media networks have struggled to contain misinformation and f**e news. Facebook has attempted to label e******n misinformation with fact check information but a recent report by US non-profit Avaaz found it was failing to detect about 60% of misleading posts.

Your idea of misleading is anything that does not agree with you. You will fit right in with the Marxists who want to control America. People like you are the real danger to our Republic.

I can't believe you libs can be that stupid. Don't you see where this is leading? The left in big tech is deciding what should be seen and what should not be seen based on their political leanings. They've already hidden any news that suggested that Biden might be involved with illicit dealings in Ukraine and China. Very few people have heard of Tony Bobulinski or his story about the crooked money laundering or the involvement of Joe Biden. The validity of this is not the issue. The issue is we can't find out the validity without investigating it. The left controls all means of distributing the news so no one finds out. The only thing the news does is throw up roadblocks and insults that Trump and the Republicans are being crybabies. Can you imagine what would have happened if the press would have behaved this way during the Watergate investigation. The Democrats are completely destroying the freedom of the press and the free flow of information within the Country and they think that is a good thing? I simply can't believe there are Americans who buy this crap. V****g machines proven to have been built to fix e******ns. C'mon, man!!

And this wouldn’t bother you if the rules were reversed zombie freak!

God-o-mighty is there a thought in your head that connects with another? All I did was start a topic over what youtube did in response to Safe Harbor Day. Attacking me does nothing to change what youtube did and how it affects Donald J Trump, soon to be ex-president of these United States of America!

PeterS

If the rules were reversed? What are you talking about? Safe Harbor Day passed. Youtube can see the writing on the wall even if you cons can't...

bylm1-Bernie

Well, Pete, I'll tell you. We cons CAN see the writing on the wall and it ain't pretty. Biden is unbelievably c*********d to China and you can't see that. Do we have to spell it out for you. Oh, I forgot you guys don't bother to check anything not on the f**e news networks. Of course you can't. How stupid of me.

PeterS

Christ, the directions you people take when a simple topic is introduced. Safe Harbor Day passed so youtube is moving on. Youtube is a business controlled by its board of directors and no one else. If we liberals controlled as much as you say we control. If we had the power you claim we have and can openly c***t at e******ns; how in gods name would we leave Mich McConnell at the head of the Senate with the power to block everything that Biden wants to do? Does nothing in your head click and tell you that Democrats couldn't have c***ted if Moscow Mitch is still around?

And you guys have Rush Limbaugh, conservative radio, plus Fox News, and countless sources on the right! How can you sit there and complain about destroying the freedom of the press when the only media you will listen to is dev**ed to telling you EXACTLY what you want to hear and absolutely nothing else?

PeterS

F**e news networks? There are dozens of news networks that you cons claim make up f**e news and you have one news network, Fox, and it tells you only the t***h? So what is easier to control, one news network or dozens of news networks with hundreds of markets and millions of different customers?

I love how you cons can make accusations with no thought behind it. Fox came on the market with the single and sole purpose of giving conservatives what they want. Yet, to you, MSM with millions of different customers, with a mixture of all ideologies and beliefs, is dev**ed to telling ONLY liberals what they want to hear and screw everyone else?

How is it you cons can't see how irrational that is? If MSM was dev**ed to only one ideology that would be a prescription for failure because their audience is diverse and made up of all ideologies and all belief systems. Fox, however, was created to serve only conservatism and conservatives so if it told the t***h how likely is it you cons would continue to listen? F**e news indeed. If Fox told the t***h you cons would refuse to listen and another new network that lied to you would take its place!

And you are in favor of that? Why? Censorship of any form in any form is wrong. Fraud did in fact happen and there is no way that youtube can change that fact. Unless we have finally arrived at 1984. They can only block the t***h, and if people like you allow that, and don't fight back against it, you are complicit in this crime against humanity. I can't imagine that there is much we could ever agree on, but this is about freedom for you to. What t***h they take from us today is just the first step to the t***h they take away from you tomorrow. Please tell me and the rest of us here on OPP that you aren't that stupid.

***Youtube can see the writing on the wall even if you cons can't...
>>>Youtube is stopping you and me from writing on the wall, even if you have facts and can prove it, if they don't like your facts and opinions. And those are the facts. Believe it.

Fox News is no longer a reliable source of balanced news in opposition to the biased ABCNNBCBS mess. It has been taken over by the left. They have joined the biased main stream media and the social networks of youtube, facebook, twitter, and google and now the e******n machines, software and counting machines. Ah, and the counters who remain in the room after they send the Republican watchers home.

I think to be fair, YouTube should remove any videos that claim Biden is not a senile s**tweasel, and that the Happy Hooker is anything other than a political prostitute.

I trust you haven't yet seen today's news about Eric Swalwell and his involvement with the Chinese spy. Of course you will no doubt try to weasel out of this somehow, probably saying it's Trump's fault. Also, H****r B***n is being investigated for tax fraud which should turn into way more than taxes, but, his being son of the soon-to-be President, he will probably skate. Amazing how you libs can joke while you take the Country down with you.

Personally, I think the Lord has plans that none of us can conceive of and it isn't what the left would like.
