> By Tuesday night, YouTube, as well as Instagram and Facebook, had taken down her pages and videos. Her videos seemed quite harmless - home exercise, veganism

  Are you serious? Maybe YouTube isn't so keen on hosting videos of attempted mass murders. Doubly so if the person attacks their employees. Don't conflate social media site hosting policies with the first amendment.

    Her livelihood was destroyed by a YouTube algorithm change and she couldn't handle it emotionally, and attacked YouTube headquarters, as a result YouTube takes down her remaining home exercise and vegan videos. It doesn't need to be said that she is in the wrong, there's no excuse, no defence that can be offered - but I said it anyway in case you misunderstand me in my next statement: Tech companies and employees and the people who use their products live in the same world. Even if there is no legal or financial responsibility between ourselves and others, it doesn't mean we can forget about the fact that we all live on the same planet. Whenever we are thinking about making a change in the code, we have a responsibility to be empathetic and also think about its effects on other members of the same society we all belong to.

  YouTube doesn't take kindly to anyone questioning their completely arbitrary exercise of power on the platform, especially not content providers that make their business possible.
