I don't understand this mindset. Why do you see creators as representative of your entire site as opposed to just representatives of themselves? You can't police people for being people if you want an open platform like you say you do. It's in the site's name, for Christ's sakes.

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.

Anti concentration - excellent. And since you are not "on the left" I can ask you to stop only considering what the right would do with too much power. Would not be good but I promise you, the current left - which social media IS - would be exponentially worse.

And please do not say "but it's private, govt has no say.". It does its when slanders lead to a level of hatred rivaled only by 1938 Berlin.
