Platforms or publishers. They'll have to pick.

Alex Jones dominated News & Politics based on view count alone for years on end...The Young Turks were also huge in the early days. Alex used to do "Google bombs" and have everyone search a topic only so it would show up 2 pages deep in some google service. Precursor to trending.

Isn't there a valid legal angle, such as free speech for citizens trumps that of corporations? With a rule like that, doesn't matter who's in power enforcing it.

I like how he frames revenue generators for the platform as people who think they "should have that access for free."

If they act as censors, they are curators not pipelines, and their liability protection must be removed. A pipeline youtube/twitter/etc competitor will in the long term out-compete and replace the current curator one.https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1136811684729905152 …

Biggest facts ever said.

Porn* Early YouTube was littered with it and it was filling the "recommended" section in 2006ish. The original owners had to come out and apologize for it.

Yet, he doesn't see it as grossly entitled for big tech to think they get to be the gatekeepers of what's appropriate for people to see and what isn't, controlling the narrative, and who does/doesn't get to have platforms accessed by the masses? He can get bent.

One of their videos caused the whole Benghazi mess.

Youtube is not *that* hard to build. A bunch of high-grade content creators will be looking for a new platform SOON. People ruminate on the design of a "second wave". EULA Constitution, public processes, etc. It's a gd platinum mine, just sitting there in the open ...
