Rand Paul is one of the staunchest libertarians in federal office. If there's any single deeply held belief that he has, it's that profit-seeking corporations should be able to do absolutely anything they want to anyone, and damn the consequences. So I don't feel bad that a corporation decided to do whatever they hell they wanted and suspended him. It feels a little like a "I didn't think the leopards would eat my face!" situation. This schadenfreude is independent of whether I actually agree with YouTube's choice in this particular video.
- cowvin 5y agoI think you're confusing Rand Paul with his father Ron Paul. Ron Paul was a very politically consistent libertarian. Rand Paul, not so much. https://www.ontheissues.org/OTI_Ron_Rand.htm https://www.ontheissues.org/OTI_Ron_Rand.htm
- jdhn 5y agoI believe Rand came out and said that while he disagreed with Youtube's decision, it's their right as a private corporation to do so.
