They scanned your message and found you were critical of Israel, a team has been sent to your location to resolve the issue.

The current US government wouldn’t nationalize industry.

Doesn’t that tell you something?

That’s what Google and Apple want you to think, and they’ve spent a lot of money to make sure you keep thinking that way.

Nationalize Google and Apple.

The creation process is private and personal, interfering with it is a violation of that privacy. This is at least privacy adjacent, and I don’t know why you won’t admit that.

You’re tilting at windmills anyway. Judging by the way the community is engaging with the OP, they agree with me.

Yes, any editing done without the author’s consent is a violation of the personal and private creative process. There are obviously degrees of violation, so on the low end there’s other examples you gave like resizing a video or colorizing a photo without permission. Then on the other end we have the fucking nightmare of YouTube changing my face because I’m too ugly.

The point is, you’re defending YouTube for doing something heinous. Do you think this is okay?

YouTube inserting itself into the creative process in an unwanted way is a violation of something that was previously personal and private. The artistic choices a video creator makes are their own, changing them changes the meaning of what they created and violates the authentic connection between the artist and the audience. Imagine if the comments you made on videos were edited to be something else -it’s a violation of our ability to even express ourselves in public. A private decision making process is being taken away from artists.

This isn’t unrelated to privacy.

Someone agreeing to a TOS doesn’t actually eliminate the privacy concerns.

You might have missed the problem.

We have an authentic connection to the author when we engage with their content, the editing and lighting and scripting is a reality they create and share with us.

What YouTube did was mediate the connection between the creator and the viewers. YouTube destroyed the reality that the author was trying to create for their viewers and substituted its own reality instead.

There was actually plenty of toilet paper, it’s just that panic buying causes pointless shortages. If we had a functioning government they’d have rationed toilet paper to make sure everyone could get enough.

That’s a shockingly low speed limit for pedal assist tbh

States without currency sovereignity or trade sovereignity probably can’t respond to pandemics without indebting themselves. If they can’t print money and can’t marshal the forces of production they’re basically reliant on market forces, and capital is happy to punish them for daring to get in the way of profits.

Related, COVID also proved to me that the EU is not a progressive historical force. It similarly turns sovereign nations into dependent states without currency sovereignity or trade sovereignity.

I think the fact that the US had a 9/11 every day for so long is actually a lot more horrifying than people being forced into screening to leave apartment complexes (which is what you’re referring to when you sensationally accuse them of “nailing doors shut”).

Being marched to my death was horrifying.

Stopping a pandemic means sacrificing some freedom of movement. The fact that China was willing to sacrifice productivity to save lives convinced me that politics are in command and, despite their market reforms, they remain committed to Marxism.

Well germ theory is woke! Didn’t you know?

I saw China take COVID seriously while I was marched off to work to die because my job was “essential” - the US, EU, Canada, it was basically every Western country except New Zealand (which is an island and basically became a bunker nation for billionaires and shouldn’t really count)

I became pro-China after that.

The irony of assuming everyone who disagrees with you is a troll and then accusing them of seeing in “black and white” is amusing.

When liberals tell you who they are, believe them.

Kids these days don’t even recognize the interstate pitstop hellzone meme smdh
