Visiting friends = Skype/Zoom/Teams/etc != YouTube Gathering in a public space = Facebook/Twitter/Mastodon/etc != YouTube Broadcasting = YouTube And your last sentence about leftists/right-wingers and double-standards is demonstrably false. There have been just as many protests by pro-Trump/anti-lockdown/stop-the-steal groups as there have about BLM/count-the-votes protests. Both have attracted varying levels of police action (BLM the most by my assessment), and both have had various levels of pro/anti discussion/criticism in the media (depending on which you read). On the last point, freedom of assembly does not equal freedom from criticism. EDITED: to fix formatting.
