This girl talking without fear of political consequences is right to speech.

This channel being promoted tens of millions of times by Google’s algos is “right to monetize hatred”.

Google plays an active role in the promotion of this channel.
Note that YouTube similarly encourages and monetizes hatred of Christians, but it’s often not in English so we have no idea about it.
It’s not just hatred of Muslims and Christians that YouTube monetizes: it’s all types of hatred, monetized equally.
The algorithm also promote gender hatred. Example:

Here the algorithm decided to recommend a video from "femh8r HiDef" (read: female hater) more than *7 millions times within in a few days*. YouTube deleted that video after three weeks.
But other videos of this channel remain, that explain "why you should treat women like shit"



I'm sure YouTube also monetizes anti-men content.
By the way, this is a must read @noUpside article explaining the difference between "free speech" and "free reach":

I helped Aude @WTFake_ for this YouTube video showing that that YouTube is recommending to kids that @realDonaldTrump, the Pope, soccer, Notre Dame, @EmmanuelMacron, many brands, etc... are hidden satanists. 1/3
I showed how the recommendation engine I worked on is actively promoting them, and Aude showed the impact it had on kids and their relationships with teachers. 2/3
To be clear, I'm not calling on YouTube to ban these videos, but we need to know what YouTube shows to kids. 3/3

.@coffeebreak_YT shows how the trending tab is heavily biased towards TV channels, spoiling native YouTube creators

Let's try to investigate why this happens. 1/
Having worked at YouTube, I know they don't intentionally bias algorithms, but they can pick a metric and not investigate enough to see if it creates bias.

Here's my theory about it. 2/
In order to show something in trending, they probably check that the video doesn't offend people. This seems reasonable. 3/

Thread

One of my favorite YouTuber @veritasium (5M subscribers) explains 3 problems creators face:

1/ They are constantly chasing the algorithm
2/ Clickbait is the key to virality
3/ Users don't see videos of channels they subscribed to
1/ Creators having to chase the algorithm is a disaster for independent ones, because it gives bigger companies a huge advantage (e.g., TheSoul publishing company creates 1,500 videos per month)

BTW my site algotransparency.org helps small creators hack the AI
2/ Clickbait being the key for virality creates a race to the bottom where YouTubers have to design their videos for clickbait

It doesn't have to be that way. I'll demonstrate it by creating an alternative by the end of the year that provides *provably better recommendations*

1/ "The ordinary response to atrocities is to banish them from consciousness. Certain violations of the social compact are too terrible to utter aloud: this is the meaning of the word 'unspeakable'."

~Dr Judith Herman, "Trauma & Recovery", opening sentences.
2/ "Remembering and telling the truth about terrible events are prerequisites both for the restoration of the social order and for the healing of individual victims."

~Dr. Judith Herman, "Trauma & Recovery"

#prerequisites
3/ "The conflict between the will to deny horrible events & the will to proclaim them aloud is the central dialectic of psychological trauma ... Witnesses as well as victims are subject to the dialectic of trauma."

First ever direct image of a black hole! The supermassive black hole in the galaxy M87 -- 6.5 billion times as massive as the Sun! #EHT #BlackHole The image is better than I expected! A glowing ring, brighter on the bottom, with a dark region in the middle
How was this image created? A giant global network of radio/millimeter-wave telescopes joined together to create a virtual PLANET-SIZED telescope. The image is patched together from the data from all of these. #EHT #BlackHole (image: Akiyama et al and ApJL) Globe with six telescope sites labelled and with lines drawn between them. Acronyms on image: JCMT, SMA, SMT, LMT, PV, APEX, ALMA, SPT.
There's a brief write-up at @PhysicsWorld here: physicsworld.com/a/first-images… with more images. Here's the image seen (left) compared with a simulation (middle) and the simulation blurred to the expected resolution of the telescope (right). (Image via Akiyama et al & ApJL) Blurry image as seen, left. (It looks like a fuzzy bright donut.) Center has a swirly sharp image with a bright ring and a dark hole in the middle, with a label of the scale showing 40 micro-arcseconds. Then on the right is the simulation image blurred so that it looks pretty much exactly like the observed image.

This is serious and urgent: Three years after the EU ref, there are still very real concerns about dark money interfering in the political process. Me and @MarkDiStef have been digging into a new story that has alarmed MPs and transparency campaigners. buzzfeed.com/alexspence/har…
Since October, Facebook has been publishing data on who’s been buying political ads on its platform. Brexit campaigns on both sides have been spending heavily trying to persuade voters. Two groups in particular are most interesting — they both happen to be pushing a hard Brexit.
Britain’s Future and We Are The 52% sprang seemingly from nowhere a few months ago. BF has been the biggest-spending political advertiser on Facebook in the UK since October, its ads seen tens of millions of times. But virtually nothing is known about their origins and donors.

Thread: One Consequence of Letting Menendez Walk

1. Sen. Menendez (D-NJ) faced federal bribery and corruption charges, but his trial ended in a mistrial last November. And then there are the credible allegations he engaged under-age prostitutes in the Dominican Republic.
2. That would be pedophilia, folks.

<quote>
3. “Presented with specific, corroborated allegations that defendants Menendez and Melgen had sex with underage prostitutes in the Dominican Republic, the Government responsibly and dutifully investigated those serious allegations,” the government states.
