That is probably an effective way to do that. Otherwise, they'd get negative press for people bullying those people on their platform.

Obviously not since they got negative press for censoring people for being disabled which makes it seem like they're the bullies.

Apparently they were discriminating against fat users too.

Imagine if YouTube censored Boogie just because he's overweight.

They don't want to actually deal with harassment complaints so I guess this is the easiest solution?

Not remotely. Limiting the videos of mentally stunted people to their country of origin isn't nearly as bad PR as people openly making fun of and harassing them by opening them up to the entire internet.

Yes. It is. They can deal with bullies and be on the right side of this. Censoring just makes tiktok the bully.

There is no dealing with the bullies. Otherwise, YouTube and twitter wouldn't be catching shit for it for years.

They can still make their videos and post them to some viewership, it's just a more limited audience.

When exceptional individuals with mental and developmental issues post shit online, there will always be an audience who will go after them for amusement.

Correct, however this is a case of punishing the bullied person when you can't go after the bully.

Sucks to suck, but if they want to limit the bullying mentally challenged people receive on their platform, limiting their exposure is a valid way to do it.

So you're ok with Youtube looking at your videos and deciding you're too ugly or disfigured to be shown?

Why do you ask what I'm okay with? I'm not talking about what I'm okay with, I'm talking about whether or not what they're doing is an effective method to reach the stated goal and if the PR is worse from that or not. I don't know why you're trying to personalize it.

If you want to talk about what I'm okay with, my opinion is there should be as little moderation as possible. Just go after the explicitly illegal stuff. Let them post whatever dumb shit they want and then let the people who want to mock them make whatever shit they want making fun of them.
