Competition possibly coming soon for YouTube

[Industrial Toys]

I'm actually surprised how much almost pro **** stuff is on You Tube. If you like WW2 **** Marching Music, there is no shortage. Even Holocost (sp?) denial documentaries. I thought, that stuff would be the first to go.

but you leave out the fact the when a company takes money from the government they can no longer discriminate.

This is not a true statement. Grants, loans, and loan forgiveness via .gov does not change the Constitution. If there are separate agreements made explicitly requiring certain policies, that is a separate issue.

Additionally, YouTube is and always has been, a private company. It was purchased directly from its founders for $1.5B and has since been owned by Google/Alphabet. There is no record, to my understanding, that any .gov involvement has ever occurred.

Youtube along with it's parent co google...are attached at the hip with the liberal left...all their policy decisions are in line with the left and are 100% politically motivated...

I don’t know that YouTube is any different than tractorbynet. They are both private companies and both censor whatever they choose. It’s their right.

If you don’t believe that then post something radical on this site and see how fast it disappears.

Youtube is not a private company...they are part of Alphabet Inc. are are publicly traded under the symbol: 'GOOG'...

Personally I do not consider monitoring and enforcing a TOS (terms of service) and or a UG (user agreement) "censoring" and this is the case with TBN...GOOG and their machinations are another story entirely...!

When I said 'private'... my meaning was that it is not a .gov agency. You are definitely correct, it is publically traded as a subsidiary of Alphabet. My meaning was it is owned by people... not .gov.

I understand and am not arguing the point...but corporations are not much different than governments...they are entities of their own accord directed by "people" but often with similarly biased agendas...many publicly traded companies/corporations are larger and more powerful than a lot of (US) state and sovereign governments...
