PragerU vs. Youtube

[jsbhike]

Be interesting to see how this goes.

I NEVER agreed with the sentiment thrown around here & other places that youtube/google,ect can "do whatever they want because its a private company"...horse shit. I hope Prager U wins hands down & gets BIG bucks out of it. Then, itll force all the rest to be neutral and take away the advantage theyve been giving to libtards, commies & demorats. But, I repeat myself.

I don’t disagree with you. Private businesses have all kinds of laws placed on them regarding civil rights. In fact my employer attracts late term preggers because of the benefits then they go on maternity leave while paid and never show back up. Can’t discriminate against women who have big round pregnant bellies but the biggest forums of public discussion can ban an entire half of a country from civil discourse?

many like to say private business then try to compare it to some mom and pop bakery

its a public traded company has ties with the gov big time !!!! HUGE ties with the gov etc..

they have openly said they want to change the outcome of the next election and crickets from our officials !

I was not aware of the definitions of, and the differences between, a "public forum" and a "publisher".

Previously I was of the opinion that a privately owned business should be able to do what it wants. If I open a business, I don't want anyone telling me I can't serve bacon because its offensive to muslims. Likewise if a Muslim opens a business, I have no desire to force them to serve bacon if they don't want to. The information outlined in the linked video clearly explains why my understanding of this matter was wrong. I hope Prager U wins and continues to put out great content, and I hope I'll be "allowed" to watch it by the commies that run the computers of the world.

This is an important case. I hope it’s fast tracked.

I was unaware of the public forum versus publisher angle also.

I had been looking at the complaints the same as Honu mentioned, that they aren't exactly a private company and I think that is an issue in many other cases as well.

I guess I feel very well informed. I was aware of the forum vs publisher distinction and Prager should win this one handily. I would like nothing more than to see YouTube declared a publisher (as they truly are) and enjoy all of the privileges and restrictions thereof. They've made their bed, they can now lay in it...

Interesting concept if it goes that way. We are truly in uncharted waters my friends.
