Since Google is just a host I don't think a court would consider a right to post, Google gets to pick what they host, perhaps the court would however consider a charge on anticompetitive behavior.
- Sylos 9y agoI think, that's more of a US thing that people don't have a right to an offer. In Europe, it usually rather goes that it's a public offer, therefore anyone in principle has a right to take this offer, you can especially not exclude them because you dislike their skin color or sexual orientation etc., but they can forfeit this right under certain circumstances, for example if someone repeatedly steals from your grocery store, then you can ban them from entering your store, but you generally do need a judge to confirm that. Then again, the article actually specifies "...or similarly significantly affects him or her". So, it doesn't even need to be a right to upload to YouTube. Of course, it's up for debate if it "significantly affects" someone when they cannot upload YouTube-videos, but at the very least with the many people making their living off of YouTube, this should be a pretty clear case.
