YouTube takes down independent court livestreams
I think at this point we can just expect this stuff.The ridiculousness of it, though.  The rekieta law stream (which is fantastic, btw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7YXd2M5E-8) has anywhere from 4-12 active lawyers giving commentary and context to everything that is happening.This is exactly the type of thing we dreamed about when we were first creating the internet.However: often times these smaller independent journalists and commenters go against the reality that media companies want you to believe you live in.  Thus: they get censored.  Rekieta lost almost 40,000 people who were getting live commentary from a diverse (idealogically) set of lawyers, and now must to places where these companies can assert more narrative control.It's sad.
