free speech soldiers on - not - [PFFR] Verge: YouTube is also cutting its business relationship with YouTube's biggest star, PewDiePie
TRIGGER WARNING - the trigger warning is below. Well, another very happy day for Lauren Weinstein who incidentally escaped the gas chambers by thumping the guards as a 2yo, throwing his teddy as a distraction, all whilst whipping his blankie ("blanket") over the razor wire to facilitate his final "jump" solution. So it's just as well that Nazi collarborator PewDiePie is being justly served first de-monetization and now full de-association by Google! All Praise, corporate protection for YOUR Freedom of Speech. Thank you Google, we always knew you'd "Do no evil". TRIGGER WARNING: This email has been demonetized. From: "PFFR (People For Firetrucking Responsibility) Announcement List" Subject: [ PFFR ] Verge: YouTube is also cutting its business relationship with YouTube's biggest star, PewDiePie Verge: YouTube is also cutting its business relationship with YouTube's biggest star, PewDiePie http://www.theverge.com/2017/2/14/14608518/youtube-cancels-scare-pewdiepie-s... YouTube's biggest star, PewDiePie, has always flirted with controversy. But his recent use of Nazi imagery and anti-Semitic humor went too far for his corporate partners. On Monday evening Disney announced it was severing ties with PewDiePie, and now The Verge can report that YouTube is also cutting its business relationship with its most famous face. PewDiePie was set to release the second season of his original series, Scare PewDiePie, a YouTube Red exclusive that the video giant paid to produce. The release of that show has now been cancelled, according to a YouTube spokesperson. PewDiePie is also being removed from the Google Preferred advertising program, which is reserved for its bigger and more marketable creators. That will have a direct hit on PewDiePie's earnings, as the Preferred program is home to brand advertising that generates more revenue than typical YouTube advertising. - - - Thank you Google for taking some appropriate steps here. I would go further and ban him from YouTube entirely, but then I don't run YT. Seriously though, thanks for these actions. --PFFLauren--
