yeah, you're right. Maybe we should socialize all internet companies. Capitalism has failed, no?/s (some, I'd love more socialism personally, or at least worker-owned co-ops or worker/content-producer in this instance).... but I mean you need some censureship else you get child porn up there. which makes immutable blockchain horrible for video ... I think though a more democratic org that all it's users can vote on bans, etc could be more fair... |

But it is a betrayal. It is a betrayal of the promise of the internet as a forum of open discourse, and signifies a loss of faith in humankind's ability to discern truth, in humankind's ability to reason, for individual's to make up their own minds.
Indeed we need some censorship for things like what you described, it's a matter of what is reasonable, and what is reasonable is to be determined collectively in the discourses of society. Again, what Youtube and other companies are doing is not illegal, but it runs counter to every notion of what the open forum is meant to be. It's a sad sign. A line is being tiptoed across, and it is important that we openly argue the points and consequences.
