Tim Pool wrote of him: “Carlos Maza used to work for Media Matters, an activist organization. He now works at Vox doing the same thing he did at MMFA. Journalism is dead and these sociopaths killed it.”

Maza is an activist, and he’s good at what he does.
His plan to topple Steven Crowder was deliberate. It didn’t matter who else got hurt if one of the loudest conservative voices on the Internet got taken down. Crowder wasn’t banned, but he was demonetized—and other channels got caught in the crossfire.
Presenting himself as a thin-skinned political wonk, Maza’s campaign against Crowder only began this week. But was he really hurt by Crowder’s crass jokes about his mannerisms?
Older tweets will show that the journo-activist knew full well what Crowder’s remarks about him were jokes. In March 2018, Maza wrote a series of tweets in response to Crowder’s remarks.

Carlos Maza’s Reign of Terror
It’s hard to tell. Carlos Maza, a former Media Matters activist and current bad actor at Vox, decided that he had heard quite enough from the Mug Club proprietor. He launched a campaign to de-platform Crowder, compiling a video of Crowder’s “bullying” and rallying his journalist buddies to make it go viral.
At first, it looked like YouTube wouldn’t bend to Maza’s pressure campaign. In a threaded reply on Twitter, they explained that while they didn’t agree with Crowder’s speech, it wasn’t a terms of service violation. Maza and his buddies were not fans:

Then, within 24 hours, YouTube reversed themselves; saying that Crowder would in fact be demonetized. Then, a few hours later, they reversed themselves again; saying that Crowder would be re-monetized, so long as he removed one particularly pointed shirtfrom his merchandise store.
