YouTube has ‘quarantined’ a hard-hitting video on Europe’s migrant crisis released by Poland’s conservative government, as part the platform’s crackdown on “hate speech and violent extremism”.
The Polish Ministry of Interior and Administration’s video has been placed in a controversial state designed by YouTube to limit access to videos it says contain “supremacist” or “extremist” content, but which don’t break any of the platform’s rules.
Opening with dramatic scenes of migrants swarming into Europe, the video highlights EU leaders’ insistence that the newcomers be spread throughout the continent, and forced even on unwilling nations through compulsory quotas.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended.

So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive.

But YouTube has now placed the powerful video in “limited state” — a condition designed to severely reduce the potential audience for “borderline” content. Videos placed under this system are unsearchable, impossible to embed on other sites, and removed from users’ recommended videos lists.
The only way to reach ‘quarantined’ content is by clicking a direct link to the video in question, at which point viewers are warned that the “content is inappropriate or offensive”, asking them to click a button before they are allowed to proceed.
YouTube has also shut down comments on videos which have been placed in this “limited state”, and removed view counts and up-votes and down-votes, making it impossible to see the reach of the video, or know how it has been received.
YouTube Will Censor Non-Rulebreaking Content, Manipulate Search Results, And Work With ADL.

Google unveiled the policy in August among a raft of new measures which the video-sharing website said it will use to counter “extremism”. It announced a partnership with 15 “expert NGOs and institutions” — including the Council of Europe’s left-wing No Hate Speech Movement and George Soros-linked groups — who will direct them in identifying objectionable content.
Explaining the system, YouTube said it bans content which “promotes violence or has the primary purpose of inciting hatred against individuals or groups based on certain attributes”, as well as “content intended to recruit for terrorist organizations, incite violence, celebrate terrorist attacks, or otherwise promote acts of terrorism.”
According to YouTube’s blog post, the Polish government’s video must have been judged a “borderline” case, which describes content which “[contains] inflammatory religious or supremacist content without a direct call to violence or a primary purpose of inciting hatred.”
Boycott YOU TUBE.
“Don’t Be Evil,” Google’s motto, makes infinitely more sense once you realize they are being sarcastic.
Europe has a big job ahead of them.
Whenever YouTube/Google/etc ban or restrict a video because it is supposedly “racist,” “bigoted,” “hateful,” or any other mendacious label they conjure up to justify their shameless suppression of free speech, it is perfect proof it’s a video I should (and most likely WILL) watch.
They’ve done this to a number of YouTubers who are by no mean hateful and who offer insightful commentary. But they demonetize or limit them because they refuse to succumb to the liberal, PC, progressive, leftist, anti-Trump, kumbayayayaya agenda that says anyone who thinks differently is a Nazi.
The more they do this, the more they will harden my resolve.
I watched the video twice and failed to see or hear anything “inappropriate or offensive.” It seems the left still refuses to admit that their forced relocation of savages was doomed to failure from the very start. Now, as Starfcker alluded to, Europe has a tough row to hoe. Thank God the POS Obama is no longer POTUS or our own situation in North America would be considerably worse than it already is.
Or Hillary
THE QUESTION IS: Why hasn’t anyone created a competing video sharing site? If there is one, please tell is.
I’d like to see that too.
YouTube has become far to dominant and important for too many people the way it is now. I imagine that’s the real reason Google wanted it.
There are alternatives to youtube, twitter, facebook, all of em. But few use them. Why? If you can answer that then you probably can also explain why AMZN is over $1100. People do stupid shit, and they do it for a long long time. Most people basically need to be told what to do, and the ones telling them what to do are not being censored so they have no reason to tell people about alternatives.
The thing that gets me is the 20th century taught us that whites will kill whites like crazy…. take the French vs Germans for just one example. These two peoples killed each other by the millions jsut one century ago, and they were basically the same race. What the hell do you think is going to happen when muslims get introduced into that mess? It’s not like humans have evolved over the last 100 years. The inescapable conclusion is that something incredibly bloody is coming…
When the Muslims get introduced into this mess, they will slaughter traditional Europeans and the Europeans will not fight back, encourge the killers and proclaim they deserve what being done to them.
Who the hell is Google/YouTube to decide. Censorship is tyranny. I’m moving to Poland. Call me Stubbski.
I like Stubbski. It sounds like a new winter Olympic sport.
As opposed to your current name, which sounds like a description of your stunted Pole.
It’s only 4 inches. But she likes it that wide.
Off-topic, but have you noticed that these Muslim immigrant terrorists never seem to target synagogues or jooish enclaves, but usually target gentile-rich areas instead? Probably just anecdotal.
Poland and Hungary, the only sane nations left in Europe.
