Well Google and YouTube have definitely removed sites and videos on the right/far-right for supposed terms of service violations so there are definitely things they won't let you say on their services that are legal. For example, the racist and far-right site Daily Stormer was removed from Google, and videos which discuss political issues such as immigration are often privatised/removed by Youtube or at the very least, demonetised. From personal experience these removals do seem to effect those on the ideological right more, but I'm not sure I could provide any good data to back that claim up. Although after firing James Damore for ideological disagreements it does seems fairly hard to question whether or not Google might have some internal ideological bias, it's just whether or not that bias is affecting their algorithms. I think Google are quite smart about this though. I don't think demonetisation is a huge issue on it's own, I tend to agree that it's in Google finical interest to demonetise certain content. But what worries me is that Google and YouTube might be promoting content that fits a certain narrative. Google searches and Youtube's trending section do seem to promote content that falls into a specific ideological category. http://aibrt.org/downloads/EPSTEIN_&_ROBERTSON_2017-A_Method_for_Detecting_Bias_in_Search_Rankings-AIBRT_WP-17-02_6-1-17.pdf http://aibrt.org/downloads/EPSTEIN_&_ROBERTSON_2017-A_Method... Perhaps this is all completely unintentional, but it does seem to be happening. And with world leaders such as Angela Merkel requesting Zuckerberg do something about ideological wrong-think on Facebook it does seem to suggest there is at least some political pressure being pushed onto companies like Google and Facebook from the outside, regards of the internal politics of the company. https://www.cnbc.com/2015/09/27/angela-merkel-caught-on-hot-mic-pressing-facebook-ceo-over-anti-immigrant-posts.html https://www.cnbc.com/2015/09/27/angela-merkel-caught-on-hot-... I think we'd be naive to believe it doesn't happen at all, but it's how consciously these ideological decisions are made and how much influence governments have over these companies that concerns me.
