Demonetized Syria videos playlist: http://bit.ly/2oczgjz
YOUTUBE LAND — YouTube has a problem with current events. It doesn’t want you to stay informed, which is why they are demonetizing news story videos.
Some of the worst crimes against humanity are occurring in Syria. Unfortunately to YouTube, that country doesn’t even exist.
YouTube consistently demonetizes TomoNews videos that discuss Syria in anyway.
Sure, most of our stories on Syria deal with the more unpleasant side of things, but we don’t make the news. We just report it.
We’re covering the Syria gas attack story, and YouTube will no doubt demonetize that as soon as we upload it.
YouTube is sending the signal that it is not a platform for the dissemination of news.
