Abortion Groups Say Tech Companies Suppress Posts and Accounts

Doesn't necessarily need to be anyone with a lot of money, just a lot of people mass reporting things combined with automated systems.
That’s a good point. The fact that the accounts get restored means they passed human evaluation. Systems likely block the account by default, pending review.
I don't know, but it sure seems like this is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

I've been getting this lately too. I just end up downloading the video with yt-dlp to watch it.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
