Happens to everyone that's involved in the media. In the 50s it was kids comic books that were censored. Up until the 60s porn was illegal to send through the US Mails.

Ask any author that's gotten a rejection slip from a publisher. I have a friend that is a comedy writer. He writes some pretty funny stuff, but it's off the wall. He avoids the "you had to be there" type of humor that goes over like a lead balloon. But he has a hard time selling to publishers. Agents don't want to touch him. Why? Because "humor doesn't sell".

That certain social media outlets have chosen to no longer carry a person's videos because they find it in violation of their standards. True censorship occurs when the government steps in. Example: When Coumo decided to strong arm ISPs about carrying Usenet over a decade ago.It was the one bastion of free speech available at the time. That's how censored social media was able to take a foothold. Didn't matter what you had to post. Porn? Racist Rants? Political Agendas? Anything goes. The problem was, once you posted something, it was difficult to remove it from Usenet.

Fortunately, there are places that others can get their stuff posted without having to resort to the black market. Still, they can't push their agendas on people not interested in them.

You have the right to say whatever you want. You don't have the right to say it wherever you want, and you never have.

You have the right to say it, but nobody has the obligation to let you say it on their property.

If you make it illegal to say "hateful" things, then who deems what's hateful? One of the biggest dividing issues between the right and the left is that they can't agree on what is offensive, with the left finding more things offensive (and thus not wanting people to say it). Our first amendment would be enforced drastically differently just because of different parties in office.
If you make the case that it shouldn't be illegal, but that it should be heavily reprimanded by society, then fine. However, you must understand that at that point, you're dealing with mob rule, and mob rule often changes extremely.

Prager University says 33 of its videos have been banned from YouTube. I have seen many of these. There is no nudity, no vulgarity, no racist or anti-gay messages. But they don't fit the liberal left narrative, so down they went. https://www.prageru.com/

"Prager University" A Right wing "Think Tank" that creates "Educational" videos. Really reliable source you got there...

Personally, I don't know why "Educational" is in quotes above :-) . The point is, as much as anyone may disagree with them, banning them from YouTube is unjustified censorship.

It's not censorship if YouTube thinks their videos will be detrimental to their site.

Doesn't matter, censorship is a violation of the 1st amendment. Because most of the country uses Facebook, YouTube, and similar websites to share information and ideas a new set of rules governing what they can and cannot censored are needed. It's tricky because they are privately owned websites but they are open and accessible to everyone.

It reminds me of the issue at the core of the gay cake thing. Legally the guy would have been violating the law by denying the gay cake since he's open to the general public but since he used religion he was able to get his way.

YouTube and similar websites are also open to the public so they should be held to the same standards as anything else.

Nobody likes bigotry or bigots but it's their right to be so in the US. The minute it's illegal to think how someone wants to think then the US ceases to be a free country. Sometimes you have to defend the rights of scumbags for the greater good.

It's only a violation of the 1st Amendment if the GOVERNMENT does it! Private companies, even if publicly traded, HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO TELL ALEX JONES TO F-CK OFF!

So then any privately owned business should be allowed to deny service to anyone in your opinion? Gay cakes should be deniable by any baker regardless of religious beliefs?

Gata love these double standards...

There should be a comma between the words "racism" and "Nazis." The way you typed it, it sounds jumbled and makes no sense.
2 ups, 6y
Guess ze mixed up 'platforms' and 'users'. Since ze mixes up Conservatives with alt-right as well, as Patriotism with racism and fascists with nazis there is not much of a point :)
