I'm saddened (but not surprised) by Google's decision to enable hate speech based on gender identity on their platform. The company joins a line of others waiting to kiss the feet of a president as much about them as how far he could throw them.
The only purpose of such a policy is to pander to, enable and embolden bigots. Allowing such speech to remain on the platform to stay published is almost certainly an illegal act in Australia if it is aimed at an Australian resident.
I am seriously considering my future of my YouTube channel.
