What about YouTube’s right to freedom of expression?
- lmilcin 5y agoYouTube is a company. Freedom of speech only applies to individuals and communities of individuals. EDIT: elliekelly, I can't answer because I am being rate limited and can't write new comments on HN. You have surprised me, but it is sadly true: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._FEC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._FEC

- elliekelly 5y agoOne would think. But corporations are people and have first amendment rights thanks to Citizens United.
- josephcsible 5y agoI wish freedom of expression were GPL-style freedom instead of MIT-style freedom, e.g., "You're free to express whatever opinions you want. You may not keep others from expressing whatever opinions they want."
