As mentioned in my video today on YouTube, I've been helping a new channel try to share some very old music that is quite special to me. It's been problem after problem with YouTube.

Have a look at this...

...and tell me why you think it's banned?

YouTube is flagging old Irish folk songs as being "support or recruitment" for "violent criminal organizations."

Yes, these songs are political — much of the Irish music I like is — but you can't join the IRA without a time machine, not to mention the songs that are getting banned aren't "Broad Black Brimmer" or "Men Behind the Wire" but things like the song at the above link... "Grace"

Have a look at the video at that Google drive link and tell me what you think?

This is entirely anecdotal, but I've heard from several people that YT, Reddit, Facebook, and even LinkedIn are increasingly flagging anything remotely relating to resistance, solidarity, anti-capitalism, or general "anti establishment" . Often under a vague "violates content guidelines"

Not sure if the AI is just more agro, or related to the new updates to US counterintelligence, or more bootlicking.... Or if there's just more automated non-human moderation than there was a year ago
