New York Carlos Maza, a video journalist who works for Vox is speaking out after YouTube declined to ban the videos of Steven Crowder, a prominent right-wing personality who Maza says used the platform to attack him with homophobic and racist slurs. The company did say it would demonetize the videos, meaning they can't make money off of ads, for"continued egregious actions that have harmed the broader community.

Maza, who is gay and of Cuban descent, spoke to CNN Business on Wednesday, the morning after YouTube announced that Crowder's videos"don't violate our policies."YouTube says it'll ban accounts that promote Nazism or deny Sandy Hook massacre "I don't know what else I could have done," Maza said."To see such clear, obvious examples of abuse that I compiled for them and to still take no action.

— Carlos Maza May 31, 2019 Maza Told CNN that he had privately flagged Crowder's videos in the past to YouTube, but after the company refused to take them down he decided to go public.On Wednesday, Crowder tweeted about the decision by YouTube, saying,"YouTube and Vox have launched an all out WAR on ALL independent creators.

Vox is a pox on America.

It's comedy, you dingbats! Are we going to ban every tv show and movie where someone jokingly says something about being gay? There's a difference between phobias and joking around. Learn the difference. comedy

He also used the platform to counter the guy's arguments but no mention of that of course.

If you have EVER watched Crowder, you would know this femdom is absolutely lying.

He's not a journalist he's an activist there's a big difference Journalists don't shut down debate. adpocalypse

The hypocrisy. If it were maza causing tons of people to send hate mail and death threats to crowder you'd be screaming about how he needs to be deplatformed and arrested.

Comedian said mean things to me, Ban him...

a prominent right-wing POLITICAL COMEDIAN personality. Fixed that headline. Also he didn't use any language that Carlos hasn't called himself. So keep pushing the media rhetoric of the right.

Poor Carlos better get thicker skin if he wants to play with the big boys! If you can’t take it find another job!

Funny, you tube promotes leftist isis bs but dems want free speech silenced. If someone says something you don’t agree with consider civil debate & conversations otherwise you’re tyrannical , period!

So white Americans are now enemies of our country? Communists and fascists like your cable news are the enemy of our country. Hateful CNN

Wow, talk about FakeNewsCNN - this guy has mental issues. He is so full,of hate for anyone that doesn’t share his views yet scrowder is the bad guy?

A person who don't know

Great news for Bitchute! Keep up the good work Carlos, I've been patiently waiting for Youtube to die out for way too long now.

This is such a bullshit take.

He's not a journalist

Maybe the answer is that YouTube shouldn't be banning anything. People have block buttons...

gaywonk is a coward who can’t take what he dishes. After attacking conservatives and litteraly calling for violence he cowers and demands those he disagrees with be silenced. TeamYouTube better tread lightly. They will lose many premium subscribers pandering to the far left.

There are always people out there, thankful not as many as before, who get mad when you tell them not to use homophobic and racist slurs. They don't want to listen to the impact those words have.

Carlos Maza is not a journalist. He's an advocate and a CryBully.

Journalist? That’s funny.

Socio Fascist

homophobic and racist what ? Mexican isnt a slur!

Journalism and Vox are not synonymous.

I'm surprised, YouTube takes down all sorts of shit for no dam reason. I'm against such censorship. But you gotta treat evervbody the same. maybe if he says he was islamaphobic as well, that's usually YouTubes (and twitters) banning sweetspot

I just Podcasted about the Steven Crowder situation Btw I have the GREATEST SPEAKING VOICE of all Podcasters Please retweet if you agree?

Awe

'his sister calling for peace'

He literally advocated for violence against conservatives and has “Tucker Carlson is a white supremacist” in his bio. Carlos Maza is a loser, hypocrite who is using the same tactics that Media Matters does (he used to work there). I don’t give a shit if he is Latino or gay

So much for the Claim by YouTube that sez they're going to take all this crap down!!!...

Come out of the closet, poop in the bed, do something illegal and look sketchy on camera. Then it will be out of their system. I’ll do it with you.

If some calls for assault and battery how would you go about getting some one arrested for this crime? VoxAdpocalypse AsianLawyer

What a crybaby!

FakeNewsMedia

Maza is an ahole. He’s an activist, not a journalist who’s destroying free speech. This is the real Constitutional crisis.

it’s clear libtards n MSM wanna shut down speech. So it’s time we start fighting fire w fire as that’s the ONLY tactic these idiots understand. maybe it’s time 4 us 2 get “offended” n launch boycott campaigns against em. See how they like their OWN medicine

This man is vile. He bullied people and when people respond back, suddenly he is gay, Mexican and a minority. Give me a break.

You really need to learn the definition of 'phobic.' You constantly throw the term around so loosely and I'm not even sure you know what it means.

Maza should be Checked for his own hate speech

Yeah so grow up. Its not that big of a deal.

Who said they are homophobic. Oh this is cnn sorry my bad

Has anyone at CNN looked into the guy who has been advocating “milkshaking” people he disagrees with? Who is that guy? Will he be deplatformed?

Fake news protecting fake news!

But Trump is the fascist, right? Oh, Carlos...don't you know, they will be coming for your content next. Silly boy...

I see cnn is still using the term “journalist” loosely

Maza is well connected, he can spread his hate of Crowder through allies at the Washington Post and CNN so a much larger audience can bully Crowder and try to kick him off YouTube

Uhhh..how about learning how to just mute people or block. Good grief. This is not going to age well at all for Youtube....

Please vote trump 2020 folks or else we will just get more and more garbage stories like this. Everyone is a victim per the media. We need to come out in record numbers and hand Dems their ass’s once again

Oh god the majority of the public doesn’t give two shits about this story. This same character has used so many offensive slur words himself so let’s not throw out the red carpet of sympathy out for him. Quit with your propaganda FakeishNews

CNN supports corporate fascism.

Like a scared little girl. Sad. I would say be a man but that might offend this guy. So, I’ll have to say, settle down, act more like a lady!

VoxAdpocalypse happens when defends this anti-Constitutional pile of garbage that is gaywonk. Get out of here with that left extremism.

Buck up Nancy boy

CNNSucks FascistFakeNewsNetwork

Steven did nothing of the sort. The definition of harrassment says so. The annoying vox man thinks that making fun of someone's ideas and person by having a potentially offensive opinions about the two things is harassment. He didn't verbally or physically harass anybody.

Hmm, no. Just no.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Calling a homo a homo is a homophobic slur. This is cnn

When YouTube does because of this and we start a new and more free streaming service, all will be right in the universe. VoxAdpocalypse

CNN, please tell the true. He is not a journalist. If anyone watch his content once, you can tell that he is not a journalist. He is lier and double standard. He confused everyone by call himself as Q**. But someone called Q**. Crying wolf. Should I call him fake.

Who cares

This is a news story?

Pathetic

If you have this guy you should have Crowder... this Mazda guy is a safe space ❄️🤡

Unbelievable. Keep playing the victim card.

Fake news lol

donlemon do you know why there’s so much hate in this world? It’s because of the arrogant fool who currently occupies the WH. Tho I’ve hated him long before he even thought about running. HE enforces hate in this world. HE divided us!

1. Not journalist, but activist 2. I guess making jokes about someone is harassment now 3. Steven has prolly done HOURS of Vox rebuttals. There’re only about a couple mins worth of identity jokes. Grow. Up.

No, he pointed out his absurd view of AntiFa. He poked at him for being a gay Mexican but didn’t use that for his argument. He used facts. Unlike CNN and the self proclaimed gay uses name calling (right-wing, racist, Nazi, fascist etc) strictly as an argument.

a little jealous Youtube shows are getting more views than your major news network?

Crylos is a sorry excuse for a human being. He caused the ending of so many moderate voices making a living on YouTube. More then “extreme right wing” creators were caught up on this. “Better to lock up 100 innocent men, than let 1 guilty man go free” is a disgusting motto.

is utter garbage. gaywonk is a total fascio. voxdotcom is a complete dumpster fire.

Maza is the typical snowflake in 2019 who can't handle different opinions, but really can't handle someone smarter debunking his claims and agenda. Crowder has every right to a opinion and every right to tell a joke.

censored

CNN endorses the silencing of differing opinions. VoxAdpocalypse

Remember kids, your free speech isn’t being denied if you’re being deplatformed for hate speech. YouTube isn’t the govenment and no one is restricting your right to say what you want. You’ve got plenty of venues to voice your opinions in 2019.

Oh well thats life

Hail Big Brother

I wonder when the death threats start and the victim card is displayed?

BeBest

I don't know either of them. Never defend someone for doing something wrong. Never justify a wrong thing just because it hurts someone you dislike. Just ignore people you dislike. I don't care who either of these guys are. Wrongs don't make rights. Choose to behave better 🙂

Maza is a 🐱

Give him some diaper and cuddles. He lost his balls somewhere in the altercation.

I don’t understand why everyone keeps calling this man a cigarette.

“Journalist” my ass. He isn’t worth the paper his opinion pieces are drafted on! Peddles in propaganda, false narratives and easily debunked thought bubbles. He also pushes for deplatforming if individuals who don’t agree with his extreme positions. No wonder CNN is backing him

(A) They did ban the video. (B). They didn’t bother to show the same courtesy to left wing videos like Colbert and his skit that portrayed DLoesch being shot. (C) I swear a preschooler could gather facts better than CNN. What the heck?

Calling Steven Crowder “right wing” and Maza a “video journalist” is a perfect example of why you’re fake news.

Pencil neck fascists, huh

The fact that this is a CNN story shows how biased and fake they really are.

He's not a journalist, he's a fascist out to destroy his critics.

This guy

We have one side. How about reporting the other side too? Let us think for ourselves.

This guy is a shiphead

Carlos Maza is a violent fascist.

My question for Carlos Maza: Martyr much?

Now talk about how gaywonk espouses assault/battery.. or does that collapse this pathetic/convenient victim narrative?

Mazda is a terrible person
