I have found a lot of pro-Palestinian YouTube videos are put behind warnings pages unnecessarily - the preventing them from going viral.

Here is a great example, this Chris Hayes of MSNBC news segment on the MSNBC YouTube channel where he is incredibly critical of what Israeli leaders are saying:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WTHVseqZdw

Notice the warning says:

"The following content may contain graphic or violent imagery"

There are no such warnings on the official MSNBC website on this video, thus it is specific to YouTube: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/chris-hayes-the-war-in-...

I've seen this happen on another video, one calling on the games industry to be supportive of the Palestinian struggle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDB_wYdn5f4

You can find a ton of videos on YouTube with similar content or worse that the Chris Hayes's video that is critical of Israel, but they are allowed: https://www.youtube.com/@msnbc/search?query=israel

Here is probably the best example, here is an official IDF video that shows clearly dead bodies and there is no YouTube content warning, just a warning that the IDF put in their video - thus allowing this video to still go viral: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ta7ScT67vQ0

This is extremely concerning and hints at a potential intentional organized suppression of information that is calling out the horrors that are being committed in Gaza.

It has been going on for decades, openly discussed among pro-palestine activists in the US since the early days of social media. One of the first and most reliable "mainstream" users of reddit was israel posting "idf thirst traps" though that nomenclature didn't exist for it back then.

I was a mod of a few semi-popular subs back then and we'd get bombarded by requests to remove comments critical of israel in those threads. A few times messaged by state employees under their real names making their case for a pro-israel mod stance. This was like circa 2008-2011, real ron paul le bacon atheism obama days.

Terrifying. Thank you for sharing your story.
