Tom Martin, a student at the London School of Economics, filmed a series of interviews with other students, addressing his lawsuit against the school, for teaching a sexist, bigoted ideology. One of those students, who participated in the interview knowing it would be uploaded is now trying to censor this video by having it taken down from Youtube (on Tom Martin’s channel, this is a mirror)
While this is annoying, it also suggests that the student has matured, and now recognizes their own point of view, as expressed during the interview, is in fact ignorant and bigoted. Unfortunately, they’re still evidently immature enough to believe censorship is a good path to pursue to cover up their bigotry.
Possibly also, they are unfamiliar with what is often called the Steisand effect, where people make copies of materials and put them up in multiple places, to stop the censorship attempt.
Which is happening now to Tom Martin’s threatened videos.
Note: Here at AVfM we have had some strong disagreements with Tom Martin. But so what? Censorship by harassment and abuse of the flagging and reporting system: not cool. Whether you do it to us or anyone else.
By the way, why do we suspect something very similar is about to happen to John Nazarian, but for different reasons?
