No, it's not even that remotely, and to equate the two shows massive ignorance.
This is like a book publisher of its own accord (without the government forcing them to) deciding that they do not want to publish your book anymore. Unless you have an explicit and enforceable contract with them that says otherwise then they're well within their rights to stop publishing your book.
If you don't like it then don't use their platform, and if you're using YouTube to host things for your business then it would be a really good idea to have a backup host in place that you can direct users to.
- scotty79 2y agoShow me a book publisher comparable to YouTube. Quantity is quality. YouTube is more akin to a small country than a book publisher.
- DrillShopper 2y agoYouTube is also not locking you in a cell and physically depriving you of your freedom as opposed to the original analogy. There's no book publisher as big as YouTube/Google but that doesn't break the analogy, and there are plenty of other places you can host video online.
- scotty79 2y agoMaybe locking up is wrong analogy. Rather YouTube is just torching everything you've built instead. > There's no book publisher as big as YouTube/Google There's nothing as big as YouTube/Google and that's why analogy breaks. Your analogy with publishers works only if there's relevant competition and there's none. YouTube is analogue to state publisher and others are underground small printers who's main occupation is printing opposition leaflets. There's no competition between YouTube and those entities.
