Mom... lets everybody call each other names? Can't coddle the neighborhood?
[quote name="Vested Id"][quote name="paying guy."]Guy's videos are still <A HREF="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWofGtixMUs">on Youtube</A> and he's still making shitloads of money from other sources. Losing mom's business is the difference between him getting that custom penis-shaped jacuzzi he wants or just a regular-shaped one.[/quote] That's a dodge - everyone else is being hit. YouTube cannot enforce their terms as written, on their vast digital platform, so they will end up lopping off a lot of heads and have signaled that they are vulnerable to left-wing pressure campaigns. It vastly chills speech, which Millennials and Gen X, in the most craven turn I've witnessed in my lifetime, suddenly don't care about because they favor the political tilt. The correct and moral thing for Maza to have done would be 1) respond or reach out to Crowder, 2) a shaming campaign, 3) rise above, if you're visible you're going to be called names, <strong>especially when your entire act is playing the part of the really gay guy</strong>. It's despicable that he ran to authorities to kill speech because it hurt his feelings. It was without question the bad decision for YouTube to bend, you can post-rationalize it all you want but we all know where the line is and vastly powerful institutions just decided to pretend otherwise. [quote]If you want to talk about whether mom should have monopoly control over crucial digital infrastructure and whether she should be subject to antitrust and/or nationalization, great.[/quote] I want to agree with you here, but this smells like DSA horseshit. Apply the same logic to these communications platforms that we did to businesses with the Civil Rights Act - if your software allows anyone on Earth to make a free account and start uploading, you don't get to invoke association. [quote]If you want to whine about mom's supposed liberal bias while her home is pretty much completely wallpapered with suggested links to PragerU, GTFO.[/quote] <a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2016/10/14/watch-the-21-prageru-videos-that-youtube-is-censoring/">What an excellent example</a>[/quote]
