I've noticed several times that comments I post on YouTube are automatically deleted the instant I post them. Like, I post, it goes through, and the comment never appears. It isn't even in my comment history. I go back and re-post the same thing, and it happens again. Go to a different comment/video and respond with something else, and it works fine.
I'm not sure whose got thinner skin- American leftists or the Chinese government.
"YouTube is automatically deleting comments that contain certain Chinese-language phrases related to criticism of the country’s ruling Communist Party (CCP). The company confirmed to The Verge this was happening in error and that it was looking into the issue.
“This appears to be an error in our enforcement systems and we are investigating,” said a YouTube spokesperson. The company did not elaborate on how or why this error came to be, but said it was not the result of any change in its moderation policy.
But if the deletions are the result of a simple mistake, then it’s one that’s gone unnoticed for six months. The Verge found evidence that comments were being deleted as early as October 2019, when the issue was raised on YouTube’s official help pages and multiple users confirmed that they had experienced the same problem.
Comments left under videos or in live streams that contain the words “共匪” (“communist bandit”) or “五毛” (“50-cent party”) are automatically deleted in around 15 seconds, though their English language translations and Romanized Pinyin equivalents are not.
The term “共匪” is an insult that dates back to China’s Nationalist government, while “五毛,” (or “wu mao”) is a derogatory slang term for internet users paid to direct online discussion away from criticism of the CCP. The name comes from claims that such commenters are paid 50 Chinese cents per post."
Everyone knows it's ten cents per post, they even named one of their major companies after this.
Article already deleted. On cue, ready set, DELETE!
Same thing happens with 🤡🌎
Try it on any YouTube video.. keep refreshing for a few seconds.. your comment will be gone.
It will even be gone from your own comment history: https://www.youtube.com/feed/history/comment_history
I don't twatter, but if someone wanted to tell DJTjr, that would be swell.

This has been happening with me in the last couple weeks. I write a lot of pro-Trump comments on CNN's videos and lately my comments just disappear.
"Oops, we accidentally got caught removing content offensive to the Chinese Communist Party."
Bias IN FAVOUR of the Chinese Communist party!
GONGFEI!
same i accidentally wrote an algorithm that deletes anti ccp comments and the ccp accidentally transferred money into my bank account
"It was the algorithm"
Hopefully the intern doesn't end up like Psycho Joe's

Hell yeah, Don Jr. gets it
2024 baby!
It would literally drive the left insane, all over again, times 10.
Cause they would be sure that daddy Trump is behind the scenes giving direction. It would be glorious.
We're very sorry we got caught.
"There is an antitrust lawsuit against us right now, we definitely didn't do it on purpose, swearsies"
The Verge is like Vox, trash. How they reporting on that??
So now is the time to go flood the site with CCP bashing.
Notice how they don't delete anything critical of America...
Republicans need to act fast before they get their cheeks clapped.
OH NO HOW DID THIS CODE GET IN OUR CODE
What is he supposed to do other then try to draw attention to the ridiculous issues. He is not government AFAIK.
I'm imagining the action sequence in UHF where Al breaks into the enemy headquarters to rescue Stanley.
Saying it must stop now does nothing. Action must be taken.
Perjury trap youtube execs.
Jr is a chip off the old block.
I love the way he calls them out
