When is it OK for YouTube to sensor videos due to political persuasions?

Where is the threshold between 'private company' as such and being a fundamental/critical part of the public domain?



By taking sides, do they risk their immunity and become legally responsible for user content?

    Any time they please. I think they’re pretty capricious with it and deserve criticism, but should never be compelled to do anything. Their investment, their platform, their rules.

    Not when they monopolize video media on the internet and are owned by Google, which monopolizes information on the net and filters it to suit their political agenda. Free speech protections need to be extended into this realm.

    By demonetizing the channel, Youtube is, in effect. deleting it. This is censorship.

    They deleted a couple obvious fake news pieces being posted as real news. Clearly you support fake news. Dumbfuck.

    No they didn't you lying motherfucker. We know Alex Jones is your #1 enemy since he was the one to first out Herr Hillary's health problems during the election. They cancelled the guy's entire channel that has a massive following because it's 'off-script'.

    He's not the only one either. And they've demonetized a ton of channels, videos off-script with weak excuses.

    The same chicken-shit excuses you peddle.




    Since you obviously don't support free speech, maybe you should just shut the fuck up for once.

    Your support of free speech extends to the liberal media too, right?

    Free speech is a non-partisan issue.

    Which is the point that went whizzing past your pea-brain.



    GFY, shill.

    Prove they didn't.

    Dems have long owned the monopoly stuffing the ballot box. The allegation certainly isn't a stretch.

    Just a threat to your handlers, shill.

    Why does youtube have to be impartial or even pretend to be? Government censorship bothers me - like when a university tries to disallow some dipshit the opportunity to speak if their words are scary and make you want to shale and vomit.

    I don't think google or youtube are obliged to be non-partisan, though. They aren't government agencies and contrary to obk's wailing, they aren't monopolies. either, IMO. You should probably send them a strongly worded email and let them know what cunts they are.
