Subnostr

So, I support a podcast/creator via Locals (Pints with Aquinas), and YouTube just started censoring the link to his support page. Strait up just deleting the link from descriptions, even on other channels! This is why we need Nostr.

Let me try from here... oops:

Yep. The Locals site is censored in Brazil entirely. Pretty dumb

Has been this way for quite some time. Rumble, too.

Just another reason for nostr. Dang YouTube and Brazilian gov't.

Do we even know which creators they want removed?

I'll check later but why he is being censored ?

James A Lewis 1y ago

Probably because he had a recent guest that excellently criticized big tech, incl. AI and social media in general, and has had many other guests do likewise, in addition to that link being one for monetary support outside of YouTube.

I like that, I'll take a look and maybe support him

For real

Turns out of was a mistake on YouTube's part, and they stopped censoring the link. They still ought not have such power.
