What law makes it illegal to not allow comments on a government-uploaded YouTube video?
- navigate8310 3y agoContempt of court
- inemesitaffia 3y agoThere was a Trump lawsuit for blocking.
- pelty 3y agoI don't feel like finding it again but I did go on to loosely clarify (by skimming an ACLU blurb) for myself that the distinction is they can't pick & choose comments to allow, but disallowing comments entirely isn't so much the issue. There were a couple videos that they didn't disable comments for, I assume unintentionally. It's maybe ironic because even if the comments on their own channel are mostly negative, they're probably not as negative as the bulk of comments on any other video on them. So the overall there is going to be less positive feedback.
