On December 11th, 2018, Mumkey Jones was terminated from YouTube for allegedly violating community guidelines. YouTube's reasoning for this ban was completely unfounded, and all appeals were rejected or ignored. This termination appears to be solely YouTube's doing, with no involvement from the YouTube community. It sets a horrifying precedent where YouTube is free to expunge any YouTube channel at will, with impunity, and without due process. It is unclear whether Mumkey's termination was directly influenced the recent mass-attack on PewDiePie by the online news media. After PewDiePie briefly shouted out a channel which, unbeknownst to him, had questionable political views; the news media pounced on him and began to construe the story as an indictment of PewDiePie's character and YouTuber's overall culture. This story was widely circulated and totally blown out of proportion featuring news articles with deceptive and unfair reporting. PewDiePie's $200,000+ charity donation from the week prior went almost completely unreported. The inequity of these two events leads one to infer that the negative PewDiePie coverage is almost certainly agenda-driven. Mumkey's termination and PewDiePie's media attack are both signs of a troubling new era for content creators on YouTube. We are entering a period of mass authoritarian censorship from media pressure. This isn't about the principle of enforcing community guidelines, this is about systematically targeting and removing individuals which YouTube and the media view as cultural opponents. We must remain vigilant in the face of this threat, and vocally resist YouTube's gross abuse of power.
