      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

      I find Steven Crowder obnoxious, unfunny, and politically appalling, but that doesn't mean I would therefore demand that his videos be removed from YouTube just because they offend my sensibilities. The principle of a free, open internet overrides my personal sensibilities

      For the millionth time. Appealing to tech authorities to be arbiters of speech imbues them with massive power that they do not deserve to wield. Journalists' newfound embrace of this moralizing censoriousness is gross, and contrary to the fundamental tenets of the profession

      If you have a large platform and constantly make provocative political statements as part of your job, you should expect to receive provocative, demeaning insults. It's inevitable. Citing these insults to demand that your detractors be expelled from online platforms is baby stuff

      Contemporary online journalists remind me of the Christian conservative groups who crusaded in the 1990s and 2000s for the FCC to censor Howard Stern because he said stuff they found offensive. It's the same censorious mindset, cloaked as ostentatious moralizing

          It is pretty interesting to see those who once called for free speech to be the ones now asking to censor it. Clown world, indeed.

          It's the same spirit. Wanting a world without political "enemies" to bother or hurt your feelings is the Road to Perdition when acted upon. People don't want the Church Lady prying into their lives or it's modern woke equivalent.

          You're not wrong... I think it's important to be clear that censorious-ness is something both sides have engaged in at various times, sometimes even aimed at the same target, just for different reasons.

          But today it's not christian conservative groups, it's pretty much the bulk of the media, and every fourth person on Twitter using "morality" to silence those they don't like.

          Except they aren't petitioning the FCC. This is the equivalent of petitioning WXRK to drop the show.

          Howard Stern had a syndicated radio program where his 'stuff' went over the airwaves nationally into every household & every vehicle. Can't compare to tweets & Youtube channels that involve actively choosing to see/hear someone's 'stuff'.
