Congress shall make no law .... abridging the freedom of speech
Freedom of speech/expression is only freedom from the restriction by the government.
Youtube can refuse to publish anything it wants to. Zero people have an inalienable right to publish on YouTube's private platform.
- garbagetime 6y agoThe point as I took it had nothing to do with the First Amendment legally applying to Youtube. Simply to do with the importance of freedom of expression (which of course does apply to Youtube), as exemplified in the First Amendment.
- supergirl 6y agoisn't congress literally talking about such a law now? something about holding tech companies accountable for their users content? so congress is breathing down the necks of tech companies which now "choose" to refuse publishing certain content. what interest would youtube have to censor otherwise? no censoring = more views less work.
