0:00.0 | Yesterday we saw the prod boys purged from Twitter. That includes their founder Gavin McInnes, |
0:04.6 | who is a high profile Trump supporter, founder of a co-founder of Vice, with something like |
0:09.6 | 265,000 Twitter followers. We saw H3H3, a massive mainstream YouTuber get a guideline strike, |
0:17.3 | because he was talking about Alex Jones. He was actually showing Alex Jones content, |
0:21.1 | which is probably what happened. Within a few hours they reversed the strike and apologized, |
0:25.0 | but the system is in place to go after specific content. I started to wonder why. Now, admittedly, |
0:31.2 | my view is limited. I try to make sure that everything I do is balanced, well researched, but |
0:35.8 | I'm wrong. I could be wrong. I don't think I know everything. But based on what I've seen over |
0:40.6 | the past couple of years, the reactions to certain people on the left and the right, and what's |
0:45.9 | going on with echo chambers and bubbles, I have to assume that this does primarily target conservatives, |

1:16.1 | And I've got an idea, and that's what we're going to get into. But first, if you like the videos |

1:40.1 | First, to understand why I think this does primarily affect conservatives, we're going to look at |
1:44.0 | a few stories. This story is from 2016. It reads, conservative writer posts same tweet as Ghostbusters |
