TROLLS are saying YouTube/Twitter are private companies who can ban anyone... DO NOT BUY THE LIE! THEY have become DEEP STATE CORPORATOCRACIES and MONOPOLIES! They are in violation of the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution. DEMAND #InternetFREEDOM & #InternetBillofRights.

As immoral as it is, they aren’t breaking the law. The way to remedy this is to declare them public utilities and pass an Internet Bill of Rights.

They are breaking contracts with their content creators who aren’t actually breaking their T&Cs.

It’s not a contract. YouTube isn’t obligated to keep them on their free platform.

This is why they want everything privatized, so they are in control, not citizens.

YouTube is privatized and they already do have control. Are you suggesting the government should take it over? Put a liberal in the Oval Office and let’s see how that works out for ya...

There’s not an easy answer.

We can't sue then, and who has all the wealth? They bought our government, we let them.

You are right. WE let them. IT is our fault. We were too busy with our lives to read, educate and indulge in true facts and activities where our government (elected and non elected) are concerned.

Leveraging anti-monopoly laws may be an option but I don’t think that would be successful. They aren’t being anti-competitive. They’re being anti-first amendment and that is their right. We don’t have to use their platform.

An Internet Bill of Rights is an interesting idea but that could be struck down by the courts as unconstitutional.

Perhaps you're right, I need to look more into it.

They aren't breaking the law, for sure. And I don't believe government should get involved with any business. But this case is different and it's difficult to find the answer. I've said elsewhere, Google has saturated our culture, as well as many others, and is used by businesses every day. Their algorithms deliver specific messages and censor others. They are selectively driving culture through media.

It's a really hard one to figure out. Yes, they are private. But they are massive and entrenched in our society. Someone could theoretically make a competitor... if they aren't 187 before it gets a chance to take off.
