Hindu vigilantes have long tried to stop the cow trade, often carried out by Muslims, but have become more extreme and flamboyant thanks to American social media platforms that reward them with large online followings.

    The channel’s videos were flagged for abuse. I know, because I have flagged the violent ones & so have many other people.

    Neither google/ youtube nor meta/ (facebook, instagram, whatsapp), nor X take down violent Hindu extremeist content until and unless the issue is raised by well-known foreign media (indian independent media carries no weight with them and Indian mainstream media creates & spreads Islamophobia night & day) or when Indian police decide to act.

    WSJ has been consistently raising & chasing Meta, X, and Youtube on this for years now, since 2020. When it gets too hot for them, the SM co.s close/ suspend the hate & violence filled a/cs fr a shot while, and then reinstate them when the heat is off. This behaviour of theirs is also documented.

    There is no doubt, in my mind, that they’ll do the same for Monu Manesar’s a/cs and other Hindu extremeist a/c,s.

      To be fair, this is the case for most things. They don’t give a shit what’s on their platform unless it’s causing bad PR or harming their relationships with advertisers
