Liberal activists are crying foul after YouTube’s demonetizing frenzy slammed the Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization known for labeling conservative groups as hate groups.
A video SPLC published was among those nixed. Journalist Max Blumenthal lashed out at the company after the video was pulled.
Other activists and liberal journalists expressed their opinions.
“A policy that attempts to ban hateful content is only as effective as the mechanisms implemented to enforce such rules,” Color of Change President Rashad Robinson said in a statement Friday. “If executed poorly, this policy could contribute to even more harm for black communities and other communities targeted by white supremacist ideologies.”
Jordan Chariton, a journalist who formerly worked for The Young Turks, also weighed in on the debacle. “This overreaction to individual offenders to then destroy the livelihoods of those who cover war & corporate power critically is absurd and polar opposite of what YouTube’s mission once was. Punish INDIVIDUAL hosts if they are selling shirts based on homophobia. Stop punishing others,” he said on Twitter Wednesday.
