You didn't answer the question - Do you want someone to regulate them?
- throwaway0a5e 5y agoI didn't answer the question because it was a non-sequitur and it was obvious the question was being asked in bad faith to trip me up, like a cop who asks how many drinks you had after you just told him you hadn't had anything to drink. I don't have a strong opinion on the matter. If someone were to do a good job regulating them and make the situation better I'd approve. If someone were to do a bad job and make things worse I'd disapprove.
- IgorPartola 5y agoSo your solution is for someone else to come up with a solution which you would find satisfactory by criteria you are unwilling to provide? Whether regulation should stop YT from doing this is a legitimate question. Nothing else will prevent it. Observe that the government telling a private company what they must host on their platform is potentially more dangerous than the government telling a private company to take down a piece of content (neither of these are happening here but if we entertain the notion of regulating YT then these are to be considered).
- goldenbikeshed 5y agoBreak up YouTube into multiple companies, each only allowed to operate in one country. Then break up YouTube US into at least 5 more companies. Monopolies are bad, mmmkay?
- IgorPartola 5y agoSo as a denizen of the US I won’t be able to access Canadian YouTube?
- goldenbikeshed 5y agoThat's for Canadian YouTube to decide in accordance with Canadian laws.
- IgorPartola 5y agoSo you are advocating for every country to do what China is doing with their great firewall, or at least to have the ability to do so?
