Bill Mitchell @mitchellvii YouTube just banned Stefan Molyneux.
A million followers.
Hundreds of millions of views.
No warning given.
Gone.
WHEN will Congress do something about this?

My channel - active without problems since 2006 - was just terminated without any prior warnings.
I had almost 1 million subscribers, over 250,000,000 views, and have consistently advocated for peace and reason in the resolution of social conflicts.
Please review.
Never. I think he’s Canadian anyway...
Do what, set up Congress’ own streaming video site? Since when did conservatives believe that Government should regulate the internet?
i posted a graphic that went out before this that they were going to do this on monday.
its a coordinated effort to some extent
YouTube Bans Conservative Stefan Molyneux and Largest Philosophy Show Online with Hundreds of Millions of Views
Not watching youtube would be a good start.
JoMa
damn
I think we got a problem folks. He was good.
When? When Congress gave them protection as a neutral carrier, not as an editor/publisher. When they decide to censor content, especially political speech, they became a publisher. And like a newspaper, they must now be responsible for every word they publish.
They need to be open to content based litigation.
Is your “conservative” opinion that they should be granted special legal protection not available to all other broadcasters and publishers?

Since Big Tech became an arm of the Democrat party and interfere in our elections. Turning the other cheek only emboldens these fascists.
LOL. The useless GOP will just let the commies take over

Very coordinated. Reddit deleted 2000 right leaning message boards today. If we had a functioning DOJ they would be busting down Big Tech doors tonight and seizing evidence.
How long before FreeRepublic is removed?
Stop complaining and take your business elsewhere
When enough people leave YouTube and go elsewhere YouTube will change their practices. Stop asking the government to cure problems in the free market. That’s how we got here in the first place.
The GOP is giving Big Tech a mulligan to defeat Trump. As an added bonus of course they are busy shoveling Big Tech cash into their pockets.

LOL. Youtube WANTS us to leave. They want us gone and in electronic ghettos like Parler.
Yes, Alter, exactly. Clamoring for congress to put up a video site. The OP never even hinted, but you detected that was her intent. Insightful analysis.
> Since when did conservatives believe that Government should regulate the internet? <
The Government should stay out of private company business. But a company can become so big - and so influential - that it essentially becomes a monopoly. Then the Government should consider regulating it. Is YouTube essentially a monopoly?
If someone said yes, I’d be in no mood to disagree. Same goes for Twitter.
Congress did that to allow platforms to delete obscene material, mainly pornography. Are you really seeking to undo that - and force websites to allow porn? How conservative of you.

I believe in free markets. Apparently you don't.
