| 0:00.0 | Several months ago, a hit piece was dropped by an organization called Data and Society, |
| 0:04.6 | which falsely connected me and many other people to fringe figures associated with the alt-right. |
| 0:10.1 | The purpose of this in my opinion was a smear piece, and the goal was to get us all censored, |
| 0:15.0 | restricted or banned. Which is funny now that I'm hearing. According to a researcher, |
| 0:20.4 | they've actually restricted access to videos from this group of people. But as far as I can tell, |
| 0:27.3 | upon doing the research, no, they haven't. So why then are some mainstream personalities pushing |
| 0:33.7 | out this narrative that individuals on the Data and Society report have been throttled in some |

| 1:19.1 | throttled. But before we get started, make sure you follow us over on Mines at minds.com slash subverses. |
| 1:24.7 | While we're setting up a distributed newsroom and we want you to get involved, the goal is to come |
| 1:28.6 | into the room, share stories, helped fact check, and just generally share information you think isn't |
| 1:34.0 | being seen enough. If you want to support these videos, just share them on social media to help |
| 1:38.3 | spread the message. From CNET, this story which appears to be complete and total fake news, but |
| 1:43.9 | I can't say I'm surprised. YouTube recommendations for, quote, alt-right videos have dropped dramatically |
