What are you talking about?

Every website already censors it's content.
This isn't a precedent.
Do you go this hard with the hyperbole when thecoli bans members for what they say?
Websites have been censoring content for over 20 years

Yes.

If it isn't illegal, let people upload and watch it.

Well thanks ... It's true though. They (:lawd:) are coming for social media. That's not theory, it's reality.

"Advocates of social media as a public utility believe that the government should impose restrictions on social media websites, such as Google, that are designed to benefit its rivals.[16] Due to the recent substantial growth of social media websites such as Google, advocates claim that such a website "might need search neutrality regulation modeled after net neutrality regulation and that a Federal Search Commission might be needed to enforce such a regime." [10]"
Social media as a public utility - Wikipedia

"White House launches tool to report censorship on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter
‘If you suspect political bias caused such an action to be taken against you, share your story with President Trump’"
White House launches tool to report censorship on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter



NB. We should throw net-neutrality regulation in there as well....
What you posted has more to do with American politics than actual american rights.

Extremism has been adopted by the republican party so they are turning a blind eye and trying to protect it to maintain political power.

If you go this hard already. Why are you saying YouTube is setting a precedent? This issue would have already been established long before 2019

YouTube is a platform through which people have built careers and earned millions. It's not a little rinky dink internet forum.

They are held to a higher standard than any hypothetical website you have in mind.

YouTubeTrump's DOJ, dumbass. :bpdahell:

YouTube is a private corporation, dumbass. :bpdahell:

You won't, and can't, provide any evidence that YouTube is using the DOJ's definition of "extremist", dumbass. :bpdahell:

:bpdahell::bpdahell::bpdahell:

Your ego is what makes you unintelligent. United States is a corporation too so you think it's ok for them to silence your rights as well?

Since you're defending YouTube, let me ask you a hypothetical.

If the people same people who're running YouTube were allowed to delete TheColi, do you think this website would survive?

I'd say it's a good bet that it wouldn't, personally.

When mods ban/bush members on the Coli that say things you disagree with....do you go to bat for them...or do you accept and understand The Coli mods can choose who can/can't post here and can choose the content that is allowed to be posted?

F*ckheads usually do ruin things for the rest of us. That's life, breh. :kanyebp:

Still, doesn't mean we should allow extremists a platform. F*ck 'em. :kanyebp:

What you call "extremist" is just a nonchalant or moderate opinion to someone else.

Someone can just as easily call you "extremist".... I don't understand how you don't get that.

:snoop:

I don't like when anyone gets banned anywhere. I'm entirely consistent in my position. Stop asking me.

YouTube is the largest website in the world. I'm not sure people understand how important this website is. It's actually number one.

YouTube is such a valuable source of information that I'd argue you have issues to worry about if isn't one of your sources.

How-to, DIY stuff? Totally agree. :skip:

Mindless entertainment? Sure. :russ:

Complex sociopolitical topics? :bppatrice:

Ehh.... definitely shouldn't be your preferred or only choice. :francis:

There's plenty of really good content on YouTube. Including some sociopolitical content.

Doesn't mean there aren't plenty of grifters selling you snake oil. :kanyebp:
