1. the government is not running youtube
2. youtube banning members on it's platform is a legally protected right (for now)
3. I don't think "social media" is a utility nor will it be considered one unless there is a direct push from the right wing political parties to maintain the proliferation of extremist ideology that is crucial to their political power.
4. I believe extremists have a right to free speech
5. I don't believe censorship from a private platform is a violation of free speech

A. Are you for or against government takeover of "social media"
B. Are you for or against private entity censorship?

Years ago, BET and MTV would ban or censor many music videos.

No one cried "censorship" when BET or MTV wouldn't play the unedited version of the 2 Live Crew's "Me So Horny."

The 2 Live Crew's fight against censorship in the 90s was when that Florida lawyer tried to get the state government to remove their music from record stores.

BET, MTV and YouTube are for-profit media businesses run by private ownership, not the government.

Why is there an expectation for "free speech" on YouTube that previous generations didn't expect from
television networks, radio stations, newspapers, magazines?

Further to yesterday ..
The antitrust investigation is not based on the censorship of extremist/unacceptable ideology on it's platforms.

Did you actually look at the video?

They are investigating preferences given to guide users to their own services instead of offering equal opportunity to competing services.

You are conflating two completely different arguments. And the DOJ will fall back when it's exposed that the algorithms that guide users is based on their own habits.

The continued push against tech will be heavily influenced by the right wings perceived slights against their relevancy on social media.

When speaking of Facebook.. censorship isn't an issue. Privacy is the main problem they have bringing heat. Nothing relevant to the discussion in this thread

"As proof, I will post this highly detailed pencil art piece, despite the fact I can't identify who drew it, much less how authentic it is" :laff:

News flash: "Baphomet" is the result of a bad game of "telephone". It's an Old French corruption of "Mahomet", or "Muhammad".

The Knights Templar were falsely accused of worshiping "Baphomet/Mahomet/Muhammad" because it was the Crusades...the Catholic-aligned armies were fighting against Muslims for the Holy Land (ostensibly, though there were a lot of ulterior motives going on).

does this mean flat earthers are done :troll:



seriously though, despite what the article says they will go after pro Black Youtube channels the most, they will probably descretely go after the "woke" youtubers the hardest, even if they openly go after anti-Semitic and anti-gay youtubers publically
Go ahead and list some of the "pro black" YouTubers that you think will get censored... I wanna peep their content

Ignore my post and add a version you thought was cute to feed your ego. Too bad your aren't smart enough to know that sketch is from 1800s by a French occultist and is used today at Satan sites in the US.

Because "you" was not in the title of those networks.... and the whole concept of "you" tube is that the people are the content creators and choose what they want to indulge in...... but it is a private company so they will do whatever is in their best interest financially......
