Also, when did YouTube become a federal agency? If I remember correctly it means the federal government cannot infringe upon freedom of religion, speech, & press. Last I heard, YouTube is a citizen owned platform therefore they may choose to do whatever they like.

You’re misinformed that’s all. Free speech is a civic duty to both exercise and tolerate from others. It’s a social compact

The first amendment does not apply to platforms like YouTube or Twitter and it's not a civic duty or social compact. It only guarantees protection from the government and law enforcement, not corporations. If you don't follow a company's policy then they have the right to deny

That’s why they’ll be broken up on the basis of collusion and monopoly. Antitrust laws forbid this kind of constitution-subverting activity

Discrimination by race is not the same as controlling hate speech and misinformation. Plus, I doubt these creators were ever slaves or lynched or sent to prison because of their melanoma content. They are not oppressed and there are plenty of other platforms to express themselves

Discrimination is illegal based on any affiliation or association. Hate speech is legal. Controlling speech is illegal. Yes, big differences.

Look, these platforms are going to have to come together and come up with a code that all of them have to abide by just like news media outlets (the ethical and moral standards code). Is restricting a slippery slope? Sure, but that's for them to decide without govt oversite.

No it isn’t, that’s like saying it was ok for lunch counters to “decide for themselves” if black people could eat there or not. Just no

Do you see ISIS recruitment videos or KKK rallies on YouTube? They're entitled to free speech aren't they?

Kkk rallies are organized peace marches, like them or not. Isis recruitment is incitement to violence

And saying that all gays should be lined up then shot because God will kill them anyways isn't an incitement for violence?
