>AFTER THE MASS shooting in Parkland, Florida, in February, the top trending video on YouTube wasn’t a news clip about the tragedy, but a conspiracy theory video suggesting survivor David Hogg was an actor. The video garnered 200,000 views before YouTube removed it from its platform. Until now, the company hasn’t said much about how it plans to handle the spread of that sort of misinformation moving forward. On Tuesday, however, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki detailed a potential solution. YouTube will now begin displaying links to fact-based content alongside conspiracy theory videos.
>Here’s how it will work: If you search and click on a conspiracy theory video about, say, chemtrails, YouTube will now link to a Wikipedia page that debunks the hoax alongside the video. A video calling into question whether humans have ever landed on the moon might be accompanied by the official Wikipedia page about the Apollo Moon landing in 1969. Wojcicki says the feature will only include conspiracy theories right now that have "significant debate" on the platform.
Cool I wonder just how many things Wikipedia considers a conspiracy theory
I know white genocide is one of them

Well, this will go over quite nicely. A few dedicated wiki editors and a couple of weeks is all it will take to make this the most amusing event thus far in 2018.

The more youtube censors shit the more clear it becomes that it's got too much market share. It's time to convince Pewds to move to another hosting site.

This is a weak response. They are losing their game. They are stranded in the wrong timeline.

Early on in school kids are taught not to believe everything they read on Wikipedia. Wtf are they thinking with this.
Leo Allen
On the BBC news earlier they were filming little girls about 8 years old in a classroom repeating what they had just been taught "fake news" was and they were repeating that it was a trick done using you tube to deliberately trick people. This whole system is utterly disgusting and vile and those involved have earned their place in Hell. VERY MUCH pic related. not for reasons of a suicides place in Hell but for the place earned by those that relentlessly drove him there to escape them.
Even community colleges don't let you use Wikipedia as a fucking source

Pretty sure anyone who questions an official narrative isn't going to be convinced by wikipedia

>We just KNOW the facts goyim >nobody else can investigate the truth but us >we get our facts from Wikipedia, a trusted source who gets its facts from our articles, a trusted source who get our facts from... Does anybody still believe this shit. Normies at my workplace even talk about "liberal lies" and "bullshit on the news".

(Pic Related) In case you thought I was projecting.
Why are they so desperate to fight them in the first place? What stake does Youtube have in it? Why would they care?

>YouTube will now link to a Wikipedia page that debunks the hoax Wikipedia can be fucking edited by anyone. It debunks nothing. I guarantee they have a squad of Wikipedia editors for this.

People are getting so tired of their shit. Image must be new and novel to have maximum effect. Their media has ramped it up, maximising violence and sex to keep people staring hypnotised at their images, but their power has been overused, we've been over exposed and they are slipping. You become calloused, immune to the hype and the illusions can be broken by examining them with independent thought if you have the will to resist. And once you've seen the face behind the illusion you never, ever, want to go back.
If it was misinformation they wouldn't need to censor it.

You can use the internet... >but we will be marking everything you say as true or false >Real life is media. Remember children you should be like media (or you are a failure and we will cut off your credit).
Some wikipedia articles on conspiracies are suprisingly objective and end up leaning in favor towards the conspiracy rather than against it. This could backfire on them.
Colton Jenkins
THIS we need to set up a hue and cry. what replaced it because I can't think why it hasn't been replaced and I'm wondering if there isn't some impediment deliberately placed there to stop others setting up a rival. Where's it from
>2000s >don't cite wikipedia as a source it is untrustworthy >2010s >if you dont believe wikipedia you are a nazi
When I was at uni they used to stress to never, ever trust wikipedia or cite that or we could expect to lose marks for it. I also remember the one or two faggots with che tshirts gluing socialist posters all over the campus and used to think they were a retarded minority.
Lincoln Garcia
Wikipedia is a total shithole. The mods on there make the reddit mods look like kids. It's a total biased pissing contest with some of the nerdiest kiddies on the planet.
People have no idea how fucking toxic that whole place is.
Angel Reed
Cool, these kikes are just hastening the deaths of their own platforms.
The idea that every conspiracy theory is a priori wrong is completely backwards and arrogant. Typical optimism of the left.
Anyways, as others have said, this goes both ways. Maybe the left will be forced to face facts for a change. On the other hand, this is going to encourage people to edit things out of Wikipedia that is too redpilled for snowflakes to handle. It's just gonna be a mess.

The truth doesn’t fear investigation
Their are literaly millions of conspiracy vids on YouTube from reptilians to flat earthers you must ask yourself why is it Thant certain (((conspiracy’s))) are getting shut down? It’s like how they had to make holocost denial illegal because they were scared the truth would come out
God. I love watching the video where Trump calls CNN or whoever it was Fake News. "No. No. No! No. No! You. Are Fake News." This was the very moment he took the weapon of the left MSM and turned it right back on them John Wick style. He did it so well they actually think he's the one who created it.

>Did they do anything yeah, they were shitposting on Sup Forums

What fucking retarded question is that? I've browsed Sup Forums for 14 years, lurk the fuck moar

My teachers always said to never use wikipedia as a source. Looks like liberals think like grade schoolers.

You have become one with the chan. I don't know whether to congratulate you or kiss you on the forehead and suffocate you. (Pic. The ex champion lurker) Well done.
>google poo seeks to use the wiki jew to push their propaganda walp i guess im coming out of retirement. i have rewritten a wiki page or 2 in my day. i wont let them white wash this shit and forget that boss hog was fired from the FBI for being a racist who threw innocent people in jail any more than i wouldnt let people forget that james carville is a human alien hybrid made by the cia
also boss hog has a dirty dick from fucking prostitutes

>Can't use Wikipedia as a source in any cirricula without being laughed at >Wikipedia edited by people who have no credentials and use questionable sources >Suddenly considered factual and above reproach
Does YouTube even know how Wikipedia even works?
Matthew Mitchell
>I don't know whether to congratulate you or kiss you on the forehead and suffocate you.
Why would someone kiss a man before suffocating him?
The (((wage gap))) is a forced meme which spreads through repetition of the two words. The people who actually read the articles or watch the videos are not the targets of the propaganda. You can debunk it six million times and it will not prevent the media from complaining about a 'wage gap' the following day.

will they link to putnam under "diversity is our strength" videos?
Reminder that colleges hold classes specifically to edit wikipedia articles and inject SJW propaganda. Most wikipedia articles are now created by 19 year old college sophomores supervised by their 24 year graduate instructors, all under full indoctrination. From there, narratives are refined and maintained by an exclusive clique of leftist ideologues and paid corporate shills. Wikipedia is now nothing more than a Marxist Gossip tabloid.
Also a reminder that anyone who donates to wikipedia is a cuck of the highest caliber. Don't give me that "it's just as good as any other encyclopedia" garbage. Just read directly from actual sources. Technical articles like the action potential of a neuron are "just as good" because there is no narrative to push.
