Since You Tube is a private entity, they are free to do this, it’s not censorship. It is certainly repugnant and the public should be intolerant of this arrogance behavior by the left wing media. This is why Atkinson has gone public with this dispute.

From what I read here at FR, Germany has pressured Facebook, Google, and Twitter to pull anything defined “hate speech” under German law, which is quite protective of Islam. Apparently even quoting from the Koran, unless in a positive or laudatory manner, can be “hate speech” in Germany. So yes, these are private entities and can do what they like, just like Amazon pulled all Confederate flag merchandise, but they’re working hand-in-hand with leftist governments, and in this case not even just our own, but Germany’s. This is why the Uniparty supports globalism, big business supports globalism-it is not only very enriching, to them, but if puts all the reins of power in their hands, as they work together., and one hand washes the other, to the benefit of both.

BAKE THE DAMN CAKE.

So much for the right of private business to decide who gets to post their stuff on YouTube.

I dispute this assertion. Youtube has become a defacto medium in the manner of the RF Spectrum. It should be handled in the same manner, i.e. regulated and maintained open access to all users. It has achieved the status of a public resource, and it should be administered in the same manner as is normal for all other public resources.

Yes, it exists in a virtual world, but that does not begin to address the fact that it has become a universal means of communicating with other people.
