He has an older tweet mentioning the visit https://twitter.com/_SecondThought/status/132335626258786304...

Journalists surveilled by the DHS for documenting police violence in the US (the best I could do with your very specific request) https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jul/31/dhs-intellig...

YouTube quickly rolled back on the supposed shadowban, but it's very well documented by users on Twitter, Reddit and YouTube, to the point he would need to have a bot army to fake it. I mentioned the warnings on the video as further evidence of YouTube (specifically or systematically, IDK) targeting the video.

Now where you have a good point in my opinion is that he could have shared info on the agents, if he had this info and was legally allowed to. There are reasons he could have not shared, but it's still a good point of speculation.

That tweet is still months after the supposed visit and doesn't even reference the video it was "about".

> Journalists surveilled by the DHS for documenting police violence in the US

So you would agree that harassing random journalists and accusing them of "anti-American sentiments" isn't DHS's MO?

> YouTube quickly rolled back on the supposed shadowban, but it's very well documented by users on Twitter, Reddit and YouTube, to the point he would need to have a bot army to fake it.

What documentation? All I could find is stuff like "it didn't show up in my sub feed" which happens to all sorts of videos and all sorts of YouTubers. Where's the evidence YT specifically targeted this video?

Also, this really reeks of the standard magical thinking of conspiracy theories. If YT actually wanted to suppress this video, why wouldn't they just take it down with a bogus copyright strike? Those happen all the time on their platform. Of course, instead it makes way more sense YT used a specially designed shadowban that's never been seen anywhere else to deal with this video rather than taking the easy and more effective way out /s

I really don't know what you want here, my man. You're asking for irrefutable proof when no one can provide it. This is a curious set of events, not a legal case. If they had the proof you want this would be a much bigger story wouldn't it?

Your YouTube comment specifically makes no sense, copyright strike on what material? Also, didn't you just said that "shadowban" happens all the time? Now it's never been seen before?

Again, I have no idea what you want here.
