If @YouTube doesn’t protect marginalized creators from abuse, it isn’t giving those creators meaningful access to “free speech.” It’s creating a platform where only monsters feel safe enough to talk about shit that actually matters. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

.@YouTube wants us LGBT creators doing makeup tutorials, feuding with each other, and smiling for the cameras during Pride month. But when it comes to giving us the protections we need to meaningfully participate in political debates, they don’t give a fuck. We’re props. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

People who use hate speech during political debates NEVER make it their “primary” focus. It’s always tacked on to otherwise normal arguments about immigration or crime or “morality.” @YouTube KNOWS that. They just don’t give a shit. Because hate speech drives engagement. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

Growing up, kids would yell things like “get out of the way, f*ggot.” Hate speech was never the “primary” intent of their message. But it was a pretty fucking important part of it. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

This is why @YouTube has become such a toxic dumpster fire. The platform normalizes hate speech by treating it like part of regular political discourse. Queer people and people of color shouldn’t have to endure abuse just to participate in controversial discussions. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

.@YouTube has decided that being targeted by racist and homophobic slurs is acceptable as long as its part of a bigger debate. Essentially telling queer and non-white creators that abuse and harassment is the price you pay for engaging in politics. — PolitiTweet.org

Imagine if you just enforced the plain language of your original policies instead of endlessly creating loopholes to exempt high-profile abusers. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @ajaromano: YouTube may allow hate speech if it’s part of a larger argument. https://t.co/VWUg5j9pvx — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

.@YouTube does not have an anti-harassment or anti-hate speech policy. It has rules clarifying how to engage in hate speech and harassment with impunity. — PolitiTweet.org

@ContraPoints We're expected to shut down the "human" parts of our brains to be able to survive operating in this environment. — PolitiTweet.org

Carlos Maza @gaywonk

What value does @YouTube think racist and homophobic epithets add to the platform? What possible rationale can it have for carving out an exception for epithets? Who does that kind of speech benefit? — PolitiTweet.org

What’s happening to Ford is fucking awful. He’s a good journalist doing important work. I don’t understand how @YouTube is still so bad at this. How can they not differentiate between white supremacist content and good faith reporting on white supremacy? — PolitiTweet.org
