"However, I would still defend Youtube's right as a company to act as it chooses." There are businesses in the US that have gotten slapped with fines for not baking a cake for a gay wedding (and were forced to subsequently shut down). Any other type of cake could have been purchased. There is a clear bias with US law and the type of censoring we are seeing. This is part of the 'rigged' system that many people are talking about. It's dangerous to allow businesses to do as they please, because unless you are independently wealthy, you will be ruled by at least one company in your life. It gives them too much control and power over our daily lives. "If people dislike Youtube's behaviour they can leave the platform, and if enough so choose Youtube will feel the free market forces acting just like any other company would." Youtube pretty much has a monopoly on video content. Yes, you could go elsewhere, but you will have almost no fan base. "To see something along these lines that is actually going on in Canada right now check out Jordan B Petersons videos on youtube. [2] I really could not believe what's happening to this very intelligent man is real until I saw it for myself." This isn't really surprising. Canada really doesn't have the freedom of speech. Multiple comedians have been ordered to pay fines there for merely telling a joke that offended someone. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/mike-ward-verdict-1.3688089 http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/mike-ward-verdict-1.3... "Anyway, I wish people could just calm down with the emotional outbursts and have rational debate to come to conclusions about specific issues or even agreements to disagree." I wish more people were as rational as you. I feel like the safe space culture we see on college campuses today only hurts our youth and prevents them from being able to maturely process dissenting opinions.
