Specific for the residents of USA: What's the current status of the Section 230 debate? Due to that, the platforms cannot have editorial decisions, right?
2 comments

Youtube serving videos about a UK national to residents of the UK is probably covered by UK law, regardless of your section 230.

On the other hand, no UK law has been invoked here, it's just a letter.

> Due to that, the platforms cannot have editorial decisions, right?

Incorrect[0]. Section 230 allows platforms to exercise editorial discretion, even political bias, when moderating content.
