..days after Google announced a team of 200 "super-flaggers" to flag and ban what they dub "extremist" content. His primary channel had over 60 million views and 250k subscribers, and secondary channel was in good standing and previously has zero strikes against it -- both now gone like they never existed.

Here's a typical Mark Dice video. Is this "extremist"?

Quote:Google has given roughly 200 people and organizations, including a British police unit, the ability to “flag” up to 20 YouTube videos at once to be reviewed for violating the site’s guidelines.

The Financial Times last week reported that the U.K. Metropolitan Police’s Counter Terrorism Internet Referral Unit has been using its “super flagger” authority to seek reviews – and removal – of videos it considers extremist. The news sparked concern that Google lets the U.K. government censor videos that it doesn’t like, and prompted Google to disclose more details about the program.
The youtube flag system was actually implemented to remove videos that recruited for terrorist organizations, unfortunately other people have misused or abused the system. I would be surprised if his channel was not reinstated unless there were some really extremist videos thrown in there somewhere.
And this is what will happen to the whole internet when we turn it over to the world.
It's easy enough to build another network.
