The fact that YouTube will remove any video for its content should concern everyone. It is especially bad because YouTube has effectively made public agencies like the WHO control what views and opinions are permissible when those same agencies have been late or wrong numerous times just during this coronavirus crisis. Reddit quarantining or banning various subreddits, Facebook deleting protest events, Medium censoring/deleting covid posts, are all signs of big tech becoming untrustworthy authoritarian rulers of a digital public square that only has a few at its helm.
We need decentralization, and we need it now. We need to also reconsider competition laws so this stale cartel of tech companies can be challenged.
