YouTube is a private enterprise and can monetize channels in any manner they see fit.

Alternative competition needs to spring up. Barring that, I am rethinking my opinion about what constitutes public and private in the context of communications with the public.

I'm beginning to lean towards the position that if you serve the public, then there needs to be rules governing your behavior.

The Mainstream media most very definitely needs a board of governors controlling their behavior. They are manipulating elections by filtering information content, and this needs to be prohibited.

For gun related channels, there is an alternative, it's called Full30.com.

However, Full30 doesn't pay channels for views like YouTube does.

Perhaps we should require formal government mandated training and licensing before anyone is able to exercise their First Amendment rights, like they force on people who wish to exercise their Second Amendment rights.

No, the answer to speech we don't like is more speech, not regulation. When CBS, CNN, PMSNBC, etc., shill for SHrillary, the answer is another voice like Fox News or Breitbart coming into the marketplace to fill the void.

I don't want someone like SHrillary or Obummer in charge of a government entity that has the power to censor news stories they do not approve of, which is what you are proposing.

No. Just ban software patents.

They are all common knowledge.
