So basically youtube is trying to defund independent media and people they disagree with. Another step to actual fascism.

Its a broad sweep on certain topics like politics, race, sexuality. 

Most republican leaning opinions are considered controversial these days especially since there's a growing number of republicans who are against political correctness. All it takes to be flagged a few times. SJWs. I'm sure they'll go wild with flagging people. It doesn't matter if there's any truth the accusations.

I agree with youtube on the spirit of it but not how it will enforced or how it will likely play out. I'm skeptical person. Most things like that are rarely done in a sensible way. Also, youtube has already admitted that they don't have enough people to go through the amount of new vids they get each day.  They'll likely resort to some kind of automated system that searches for keywords and reporting/flagging. Hell, I bet the reports will handled by a automated system.
