False advertising puts you in violation of federal business laws. So yeah, that's a serious thing asshole.
If Prager can show that YouTube violated their contract (TOS),
Then let's have a contract fight rather than relying on publisher status or the Communications Decency Act. But they'll lose the contract fight because even if they have a clause like "we can remove your content for any reason and at any time," the fact they're only using it for political censorship would probably be unconscionable. Then there's deceptive trade practices acts as well.
Then how can homosexuals demand a baker make them a wedding cake?
Are our courts more than just a little confused?
That's a great argument. If you have 75% of the market and can completely silence huge amounts of the electorate, thus giving the Commie-Left a huge advantage in the War of Ideas, then action is definitely called for.
YouTube is just part of it. Every single major carrier of public traffic is on the side of the totalitarian socialists.
There is no elsewhere. There is nothing out there that competes seriously with Google, YouTube, Facebook or Twitter.
Or if the corporation is big enough, to apply antitrust laws.
Have we all not witnessed in the last few years how laws don't apply to the elite? Is Hillary in Jail? Is Comey? Is Strzok?
We've supposedly got the Justice Department on our side, and yet we still can't seem to get any of these people indicted. Google buys congressmen in the manner the rest of us buys socks. They will not be brought to account by the Justice Department.
The Bill of Rights was meant to protect us from government tyranny only.
At the time, the idea of "private" tyranny was to absurd to contemplate.
Are YouTube or Google there yet?
Clearly.
I thought there were still cases hanging...
Maybe not.
There probably are. I know I’ve heard of a couple wins though.
They are a deadly threat. That's enough.
Yours just doesn’t seem adequate.
It would help if you had a better understanding of our social structure and the history of the world. I can only urge you to learn more and to further contemplate the consequences of what is going to happen when no one can communicate anything but approved thought because we let the lesser constitutional first amendment "tail" wag the (All of our other rights put together) "Dog."
You lose freedom of speech regarding mass communications, and it will be a very short time till you lose everything you value.
Prager noted that the same exact subjects were allowed on YouTube without restrictions IF THE OPINION WAS ON THE LEFT. That is his entire point. Yes, youtube is private. But it is so ubiquitous it is pretty unfair that YouTube’s owners ONLY flag conservatives sided topics.
Says who? Who gets to decide that all people who believe in Christianity aren't a protected class?
Who is the person that decides what is and is not a "protected class"?
Suppose Google decided to delete all references to conservative sites and conservative politicians.
They routinely hide things that are not in accord with their politics.
My lawyer told me that these social media corporations are spending tons of money for lobbyist to keep it this way
I’d be more inclined to think these platforms MAKE money from the Soros’ s and other powers of the world for promoting and hiding certain topics or truths.
It is nothing without the people. They also lied to us in telling us that all would be welcome, and when they used this trick to get sufficient audience to be powerful, they then betrayed those people who took them at their word.
Without that lie, they could never have grown to what they have become. If they had told the truth in the beginning, We the People could have strangled this nasty changeling in it's crib.
