The censorship is a blacklist, not a whitelist. You try reviewing all content added to YouTube in realtime and then decide what effect cooperation has on censorship via black listing. Even media companies armed with the DMCA cannot fully censor YouTube via blacklists in the form of DMCA takedown notices. Furthermore, YouTube is just one example.
However, it makes for a fantastic analogy. The MPAA would be thrilled if YouTube and every other video sharing site on the internet would just shut down. That is effectively what the Chinese censors experienced when foreign companies refused to cooperate. That is not just true for videos either, but that is where the MPAA analogy breaks down.
By the way, I had edited my post for clarity before I saw your reply. Your question might have already been answered by my clarifications.
- herbst 10y agoNot sure if you ever used facebook. But to actually see new content you have to use it basically non stop. Otherwise you will only see the "interesting" content from hours ago. Before someone explains me what the recent switch is. That shit is basically broken since years and should be called "different order"
- ryao 10y agoI have not used facebook. However, my remarks are far more relevant to Google than Facebook. Facebook just happens to be in the same situation WRT Chinese censorship though.
