      A dumb populace is easier to control.

      Yeah that seems extreme. I wouldn’t mind if they only took away the comments section

        YouTube does provide the ability to livestream, and it sounds like livestreaming is one thing that they’re upset about, not just commenting.

        searches

        Ironically, apparently 10 Downing Street livestreams there:

        EDIT: And on Twitter, but that’s also targeted.

        I guess that there’s Sky News:

        And the BBC:
