Revealing Censorship on YouTube

Freedom of speech, freedom of the press, I'm just showing what's being censored (and I even included age gate filters to make sure I don't get in trouble if it reposts obscene content). Now if I was demanding some form of payment in exchange for removing deleted posts that someone has a problem with, that would be extortion and that would definitely be illegal, but I'm not doing that. If someone has an issue with private or defamatory information that my bot has reposted they are certainly free to contact me here, on YouTube or on Discord and I'll take it down.

There's a limit to how much this can scale; YouTube/Google have daily API limits and I'm already utilizing a large percent of my daily limit. In theory I can increase that limit by creating additional API keys, but at some point they'd catch on and probably shut me down. The other issue with demanding money to see the content the bot is reposting is that I fear it could tread too close to the "extortion" line by forcing these channels to pay me in order to see what the bot captured and ask me to take it down if it contains their private info, dox, etc.

I will say though that it's likely someone will try to make the case to Discord at some point that it's against their terms of service to do this, even if it's not against the law. I don't think this bot falls under the banner of "harassment," but someone will probably try to claim it does.

Theres this guy, he does numerology, gematria and shit like that . He had went through about 20 other channels because youtube keeps hitting him. He keeps fighting tho.

Basically the guy that runs the channel has a group of people that use gematria to predict the outcome of sporting events, apparently they are pretty damn accurate with all there predictions . Youtube doesnt like it at all . Im not sure i should even put his channel on blast on account of millions of people visiting this site each day . I wouldnt want an increase in traffic set off any red flags . Buttttttt since GLP is the shit, here it is .

Could you add InfoSquad to the monitored channels?

Dude you could make it way faster by just scraping the response to the shitty dynamic comment field (IDK what SpewTube uses at the moment, probably shitty obfuscated JS) to your own simple *nix box, do "cmp" on the comment returned data per unit of time and go from there. WAYYYYYY faster than using crufty cloud solutions like Discord (whatever that is). I lost interest as soon as I saw you required that I sign up for yet another crappy "cloud service" just to view the shit, personally.

If you think I'm doing it all wrong you're free to go come up with your own solution. No one's stopping you. I'm not using Discord for performing the scraping of the YouTube comments, I don't think you understand. Discord is just a chat app where I'm dumping the deleted comments found by my program. It automatically sorts them into separate channels for each YouTube channel being monitored. Discord is just an easy low bandwidth way to store and display the output of the program. It's primarily a YouTube bot, but the deleted messages are transmitted through a Discord bot.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

You should delete these threads later tonight, so there are no references to what you are doing. I'd like to see you pull this off for as long as possible.

Unless you want them to know, lol.

Great work man.

Very nice!

An IRC server would be nice. Would not have to rely on a closed platform.

That's an interesting idea, though I'd have to use an external service to host the server. Maybe something like freenode? It's been a while since I used IRC and I don't recall a lot of details about it, would it be possible to set up a series of channels like this where only the bot has permission to post messages?

Nice doc

Do you have a invite link for your Discord page Astro? I’ve been on Discord for a couple yrs now.

It appears that a person has to create a Discord account to see the deleted comments?

Great idea!

Yes, because I'm using Discord to host the deleted comments. Discord isn't the one grabbing those comments though, my program is, I just have it set up to spit those comments out onto Discord using a second bot program.

I would like to emphasize that Discord allows anonymous access. Fill in any user name - press next - click anywhere outside the email window.

You simply do not claim the new account and can view the content. This is by design and not some hack.

Oh really? Didn't know that. That's cool.

let me translate this snowflakes outrage speak for everyone
"how dare you present me a free easy solution to the problem I was whining about breathlessly and endlessly!!!! I don't want a solution I want to be mad!!!! "

BTW, you forgot "orange man bad", LOL.

But yeah anyone that wants to be datamined, sign up for snowflake's shitCloud

No, that isn't what I said at all. What the hell is your problem? I said if you want to do it differently, then go do that, my solution already works just fine. Discord is free as well, and it's not "my shitcloud." Discord is just a chat server where the messages are being displayed. It's not my fault you didn't know what Discord was or that you thought I was using Discord to do the scraping of the comments.

Ah, nevermind, you're a former AC fucktard troll:
Thread: SpaceX Launch of CRS-13 This Morning!
Yeah, you can fuck right off of my threads now.

Next time a google exec is testifying, you should send these results to every Repulican on the committee as well as his staff members.

I had a glitch with CNN so it wasn't monitoring the correct channel until now, but it should be working at this point. Interestingly most of the deleted comments I see on Fox are from people you'd usually put under a conservative heading, but there are tons more offensive comments left up on the same videos that are definitely from liberals.

That makes sense. In full spectrum dominance you have to target and make sure everyone thinks everyone else is super liberal. To me that's why the Starbucks guy is running as a moderate. Make Trump look like a far-right fringe candidate.
