YouTube said today that it is retooling its algorithm in order to prevent promoting conspiracies and false information, reflecting a growing willingness to quell misinformation. These often serve up unsavory content: conspiracy theories about mass-shooting events being staged (https://www.liveleak.com/view?i=fe2_1519717074), that the moon landing never happened (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhxTwcslfCY), that the Earth is flat (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKlIroTxxVM). YouTube promises you'll see less of those kinds of videos.
I was recently noticed that Google has delisted this page, hosted at my vanity website, due to a (bogus) allegation of copyright violation: http://pilobilus.net/strategic_conflict_docs_intro.html Imagine how crestfallen, heartborken, etc. I am: Nobody searches for "nonviolent conflict documents" but I can toss the link out in the path of hundreds, at least, of potentially interested parties via Social Media and etc. And now, here in CPunk land. Appy Polly Loggies for the delay, O My Brothers... Having read the document in question (Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook by Mark Bray), I have no worries: The author presents as a partisan advocate of anti-fascism, more interested in getting the word out than making money off /every/ instance where a mark lays eyes on his deathless prose. The said doc presents a remarkably well informed history of Fascist movements and their opponents, IMO a landmark in academic/practical presentations of political history relevant to current events. Get it, read it. The price is right. And the rest of the docs in the archive may present a title or two you wanna see as well. :o)
