“Google and YouTube don’t want to take any action against any far-right channel for fear of stoking the far right to say they’re being persecuted,”

What bizarro world is this pretending to be? A few lines before that in the same "article" they provide contradiction:

"After further outcry and investigation, YouTube later opted to demonetize Crowder’s channel, citing “widespread harm to the YouTube community resulting from the ongoing pattern of egregious behavior.”

Amazing to believe in the face all that is apparent that there are people that think there is anything in the Bay area with a "right-wing bias" that hasn't been stamped out yet.

This is what happens when senior management gets overpopulated with corporate robots rather than characters with imagination. Fear and avoidance of anything unknown drives decision making.

I just can't understand how they plan to inspire Hope and Faith in the future with one retarded timid decision after another. It's like they are scared to lead and want to turn into another irrelevant IBM or HP.

It's not complicated to deal with these kind of robotic decision makers especially in a company that claims to be creative. I hope something shakes and wakes them up soon.

Still, they’re afraid of speaking out — not just because of the repercussions from the company, but also from their colleagues who may be right-leaning.

That's a lie, and everybody knows that it's a lie. Nobody believes that they're afraid of "colleagues who may be right-leaning". Everybody knows it's right-leaning employees are afraid to speak out.

So the tactic they use very child-like, but effective. It's the same one that Carlos Maza and Vox used. Play the victim card, while really being the attacker, hater, aggressor.

But of course, the simpletons at Google are either too stupid or all too willing to always bite.
