Don't you know it's just for neonazis to appease the President?

Jfc. I thought this might be in response to the whole Gamers Nexus thing, and Google finally recognizing that it’s trivial to weaponize their copyright strike system against anyone’s channel.

of course, only shitty AI is allowed to do that

YouTube’s ‘second chance’ process fits with a broader trend at Google and other major platforms to ease strict content moderation rules imposed in the wake of the pandemic and the 2020 election.

Oh goody, we're going to get a whole new wave of far-right videos on YouTube.

People have been dropping the preceding adjective. It used to be that temp bans were handed out for first violations or accumulated minor violations, with the severity of the violation dictating whether it was a temporary ban of hours, days, weeks, or months.

Really egregious violations, or a pattern of temp bans not changing the users behavior would trigger a permanent ban.

I also hate the use of “ban” alone to mean temporary. The default use of “ban” should, does, mean permanent. If it’s temporary, it should be specifically conditionalized as such. I don’t really know when this started or how we got here, but it’s fucking annoying.

Fascist ~~sympathizers.~~

Possibly something else.
