“#YouTube<\/a> censored my talk on policing<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n If your 12-year-old son goes on YouTube, he can watch a porn star giving a lap dance to a happ<\/a>ily surprised young man. He can see nubile, naked girls spooning with a naked male and frolicking in Las Vegas hotel pools. Your 14-year-old daughter can watch videos on how and why to transition to the male gender.<\/p>\n

Both your son and daughter can learn how to become an \u201cantifa warrior.\u201d Under the tutelage of an anarcho-communist YouTube host, they can celebrate the fiery destruction of a Minneapolis police precinct during the recent anti-police rioting in that city, a conflagration the \u00adanarcho-communist deems the \u201chigh point\u201d of the rioting to date. They can get tips on how to suit up for further anti-police action \u2014 with helmets, water bottles and, of course, personal protective equipment.<\/p>\n

Yet your children can\u2019t watch a livestreamed speech on policing I gave Thursday, arguing that US law enforcement isn\u2019t engaged in systemic violence against blacks. YouTube has deemed the speech inappropriate for children under 18 and blocked access to minors.<\/p>\n

I suppose I should be grateful \u2014 at least it\u2019s on the Web at all. YouTube had initially wiped the speech off its servers entirely on the ground that it violated the site\u2019s \u201ccommunity guidelines\u201d for keeping YouTube a \u201csafe place.\u201d No further explanation was given.<\/p>\n

YouTube\u2019s community guidelines ban content that \u201cencourages others to go to a particular place to commit violence\u201d or that incites \u201cviolent acts against individuals.\u201d Far from encouraging \u00adviolence, I had condemned the \u00adrioting and had warned that the ideological war against the police was leading to a tragic loss of black life, as cops backed off from proactive enforcement in high-crime communities.<\/p>\n

The host of my speech, the Center of the American Experiment, a Minneapolis-based think tank, \u00adappealed YouTube\u2019s censorship. The company relented and put the livestream back on the Web but slapped the age restriction on it \u2014 again, without explanation. (A subsequent uploaded version on the center\u2019s Web site has escaped detection.)<\/p>\n

YouTube\u2019s age-restriction policy lists vulgar language, violence and disturbing imagery, nudity and sexually suggestive content, and portrayal of harmful or dangerous \u00adactivities as factors that could lead to an age restriction. None of those categories has any bearing on my talk. I used federal data to show that the claim that police are wantonly killing black men is a product of selective coverage by a politicized press and an elite establishment dedicated to the idea that \u00adracism is America\u2019s defining trait.<\/p>\n

There was nothing racy or \u00adincendiary about the talk \u2014 unless you find criminological \u00adresearch titillating \u2014 unlike the soft-pornographic and anarchist videos that YouTube allows on its site without age restriction.<\/p>\n

Last week, YouTube\u2019s parent company, Google, along with Amazon, Apple and Facebook, were grilled on Capitol Hill about their market power. The mainstream media scoffed at the charge from Republican lawmakers that Big Tech is more inclined to suppress conservative viewpoints than liberal ones. \u201cRepublican politicians\u2019 complaints about political bias aren\u2019t backed by credible evidence,\u201d wrote The New York Times. Slate sniffed that GOP lawmakers presented \u201cquestionable and often nonsensical examples of censorship.\u201d<\/p>\n

My speech is hardly the first example of heterodox opinion that has been burdened by the Silicon Valley gatekeepers, of course. The list of innocuous but conservative Prager U videos that have been age-restricted and demonetized reads like a satire of academic paranoia about allegedly lethal right-wing thinking.<\/p>\n

For now, my talk, \u201cThe Truth About Crime, Race and Policing in America,\u201d is still available to consenting adults (though who knows whether it will be pulled again, likely in the face of ongoing staff revolt of the kind that got New York Times editorial-page editor James Bennett pushed out for running an op-ed on a federal response to the recent riots).<\/p>\n

Until videos promoting the Black Lives Matter movement and denouncing America\u2019s alleged endemic white supremacy and murderously bigoted cops start getting age-restricted or yanked from YouTube entirely, the conclusion seems unavoidable that the battlefield of ideas favors an ever more powerful progressive consensus that is pushing the country further apart \u2014 even towards civil violence.<\/p>\n
