  I have no idea what this argument is. If BikeVideos4U.com deletes a video of someone crashing into a moving train and dying, does that imply their site is no longer about bikes? You can be an entertainment service and still regulate the content you host. Would you expect Netflix to host this content?

    You might want to reflect on the way you just compared a legal press conference to gore porn, it makes me think that you're either so strongly gripped by pandemic mania that you honestly think that is a reasonable comparison to draw - or you just can't think of a sensible counterpoint. In any case, I really don't think you want to pursue the whole editorial discretion defense...

      I didn't compare them. I took the argument I understood was being made, pulled it out of the specific context, and put it in an imagined context that I thought pointed to a flaw in the argument.

        That would be believable if I'd argued that platforms should never delete any video under any circumstance, but I didn't, so it isn't. You did make an interesting accidental admission though: you either somehow believe that context doesn't matter, or you know that it does but decided to make an out of context bad faith argument anyway.

  Dude, YouTube has no obligation to store anything. They could delete every single video on the site tomorrow.
