YouTube Is Full of Easy-to-Find Neo-Nazi Propaganda

In a software-aided investigation, Motherboard found that while YouTube has cracked down on pro-ISIS material, the video giant leaves neo-Nazi propaganda online for months and sometimes years at a time.

“Where will you be when the race war begins?” the propaganda for Atomwaffen Division, an American neo-Nazi group linked to several murders in the US, says. “Join your local Nazis.” The phrases were included in a video that YouTube removed along with the rest of Atomwaffen’s channel last month.

But that removal was closer to a one-off than an extended campaign: YouTube is still hosting exact copies of that video and others from Atomwaffen. Through a software-aided investigation, Motherboard has found that while YouTube has managed to clamp down on Islamic extremists uploading propaganda, the video giant is still awash with videos supporting violent and established neo-Nazi organizations, even when, in some cases, users have reported the offending videos. Clips of neo-Nazi propaganda operations, hate-filled speeches, and extremists pushing for direct action have remained on the site for weeks, months, or years at a time.

“Their rhetoric and calls for violence is of the most extreme nature,” Joanna Mendelson, senior investigative researcher at the Anti-Defamation League’s (ADL) Center on Extremism told Motherboard, referring to Atomwaffen.

3. easy to find?

I am having a hard time finding any examples? They do not list any either. If it is that easy to find, they should be able to list a few working channels.

4. YouTube was in the process of removing them, or at least some. Maybe they are now gone. n/t

5. I did find

a tribute to the Nordic Resistance movement. The only speech it had was in a foreign tongue, so hard for me to tell what it said. It has a whole 609 views with 21 up votes and 2 down votes.

I notice they complain about this in the article.

"A UK anti-refugee protest and speech, which includes a participant holding a flag from National Action, a neo-Nazi group the UK government banned as a terrorist organization last year. Other videos also include National Action banners."

So they apparently want to censor speech at least as much as they want to censor Nazis. Does one guy in a crowd with a banner spoil the whole barrel? Having that banner in a video means you support or are part of that organization or means you are promoting violence?

Apparently they believe some ideas - like opposing refugees - should be censored.

I am curious though. How many refugees from Syria are being re-settled in Israel?

6. They booted the "bloodsports" assholes a couple of weeks ago.

Hopefully they don't come back but you never know. It's like playing a game of "whack a troll".
