Link goes dead after news report
Upon reading the Newsbusters report above,
I tried to gain access to the Arxiv.org page (link below) in various ways via Google but was barred. Yet I was able to reach the page via the Microsoft Edge browser. Cornell took over Arxiv from the federal government, which ran it as a service to scientists. It was never intended that the site exclude members of the public from reading its articles.
It's hard to say what Google's motive is here. Who suggested that the article be taken down from Google?
Perhaps a factor is that the article, which claims a correlation between YouTube use and "radicalization," is a preprint and so has not been peer-reviewed meaning.
The authors are Manoel Horta Ribeiro, Raphael Ottoni, Virgilio A.F. Almeida and Wagner Meira Jr., all of the Federal University of Minas Gerais in Brazil, and Robert West of the Ecole Polytechnic Federale de Lausanne in Switzerland. If Google, which owns YouTube, now blocks this Invisible Man blog post, we can suspect executives are "protecting" the authors.
