      Adult journalists whining to YouTube and throwing a fit because the platform won't remove material that the journalists have subjectively deemed "harassing" is so infantile and feeble-minded, it's ridiculous

      "Lispy queer" is only "subjectively" harassing?

      If you have a large public platform and constantly make provocative political statements as part of your job, you should expect to receive provocative, demeaning insults, and not use those insults as grounds to demand censorship.

          Freedom of speech matters on YouTube because it allows us to hear ideas (on the left and especially on the maligned right) that MSM won't entertain. Targeted attacks on sexual orientation are not any of the above (and it's harassment, not "provocative insults").

          (And no, I don't believe YouTube should censor journalists, even on the grounds of harassment. But Maza has every excuse to come after him).

          Just because it's likely some knuckle-draggers will harass someone and bombard them with slurs for expressing opinions doesn't mean a private company has to give the harasser a platform.
