A question I have always wanted to hear the debates on:
Do we want corporate entities dictating/enforcing social rules OR
Do we want the elected government to be our moral compass and have corporations abide by the same / help the government enforce the same?
- JeremyMorgan 8y agoNo.
- melling 8y agoYou can still watch the videos, the producers just aren't getting paid.
- r00fus 8y agoWhy does it need to be an OR? If you run a platform you should be able to exercise your view of morality on there, assuming such morality is permitted in the jurisdictions you're working with. I have long held the belief that the "global no-regulation" Internet was a frontier mentality, and as it becomes more crowded, we will see a balkanization as places like Saudi Arabia, China, US and Europe have different rules/mores. What this means for the digerati and the Internet's impact on freedom of information remains to be seen.
- edmundsauto 8y agoUhh, given those choices, I 100% prefer corporations enforcing social norms.
- tomschlick 8y agoIf I had to choose... corporations. If you dont like what Youtube does you can use another service. It's hard to go to another government though.
- janpot 8y agoEver heard of elections?

- the8472 8y agoHow about having either stay out of moral issues? The government can still declare vaccinations mandatory and enforce that without forbidding from campaigning against that very policy. Youtube wouldn't have to do anything at all in that case.
