They don't want to be an open platform, they want people to watch their videos. This isn't LiveLeak. They have to pay lip service to keeping toxic content off the platform or risk scaring away viewers and investors.

Really? Because I don't remember having to sign an NDA or any contracts with YouTube to curate my content to their liking before making an account. If YouTube wants to curate the content on their platform so draconically, then they can't have a user upload feature at all.

You had to agree to the ToS in order to open an account. That's a contract. Within that contract were a set of rules that you agreed to adhere to in order to continue having access to the platform.

Why do so many software engineers end up leaning left? I'm one too - on the right, because I look at whether the rules I apply to a system will ensure its long-term performance. Leftist policies perform like that crap program you wrote in fourth grade.

I'm a leftist? I like that fascists are being de-platformed, and I believe the state has an obligation to protect civil rights and common assets. But that just means the state needs to set up the right incentives to ensure the market is actually working towards those goals.

If I'm anything I'm just "anti concentration of power". If you place all the power in the government it becomes corrupt. If you let powerful citizens continue to build power indefinitely you wind up with a corrupt landed gentry.

Different situations require different approaches. Saying "let the market decide" for everything is just as stupid as "Everything should OOP". Sometimes a functional approach is cleaner and faster to implement. Other times, yeah, objects are great.

Buy who decides tht policy? Has anyone - COULD anyone, even down the road, get it past both the Constitution and the electorate? If you can't do that, you have no right to effect the policy. Period.

And public square policy is clear. It's either everyone, and the big tech powers face no indemnity, or they put thumbs on the scales and lose that legal protection. You, like big tech, want it both ways. The law says no.

Just wait as the Covington case comes down the line. The left's near monopoly would immediately be its legal downfall, as a fuel for millions of slanders and thousands of acts of violence against conservatives (which from within your bubble you've likely know zero about)
