Nor is cnn, fox news, msnbc, etc. They all exercise editorial control over what goes on their channel however.
The rules by which youtube exercises its editor control is its guidelines and policies from my understanding.

- runawaybottle 6y agoIs that analogy sincere? YouTube itself has channels, no? Youtube is the TV. Wouldn’t it be fair to say you can exercise editorial control over your channel, but television manufacturers shouldn’t come with it’s own defined restrictions on content? It would suck if a firmware upgrade goes out to all LG TVs disabling certain content. It’s within LG’s right, but what a betrayal of the customer who was sold a non universal television.
