I think it all comes down to numbers. For example, how does YouTube’s traffic compare to the next busiest video-posting site?
I did a quick search, but didn’t find much. But let’s say that YouTube had 60% of the video-posting market, and the next busiest site had 10%. That would sound like a monopoly to me. Regulate them.
YouTube could avoid that be breaking itself into two parts. One part could be censored by their lefties. The other part could be the Wild West.
But now let’s say that YouTube had 30% the market, and the next busiest site had 25%. Then no big deal. Leave them alone.
You realize this legal argument is about the communications decency act? If you want the Wild West, you’re forcing YouTube (and presumably other websites) against the will of their owners to run pornography. Are you really asking for that? That’s the strangest use of big government power I’ve ever heard of.
