It'd be good enough if Google was required to actively provide evidence that they're at all times adhering to the First Amendment continuously.

though youtube may become a liability eventually

YouTube's worth is due to their popularity and technology, if say a large telecom company wanted to buy them it wouldn't be the free and relatively open youtube we have now

we dont have a free and relatively open youtube

yes, we do

if you think we do you live in a fantasy

compare to fucking vimeo

or any other video sharing website

their moderation is *fucking horrid*

moderation of what?

mostly taking down copyrighted content

vs copy right laws?

and you know, cp

ill agree google protects them from that, but youtubes days are numbered

the only thing that actually protects youtube is plausible deniability

with what

they have been spending years bending over backwards for copyright while generally never being sued themselves by saying "we cant know everything on our platform"

but thats slowly ending

for content id specifically it's the most accurate that it has ever been

the moment that youtube cant argue that it can observe, monitor and delete any copyrighted material uploaded to its service is the moment youtube changes forever

and that day is coming very soon

when youtube was small it did bend over for record companies, even in false flag cases

youtubes size is really the only thing that protects it

but i don't hear about content id issues anymore

those other platform's obscurity is what protects them

its getting better

why do you think its going to be worse?

no it isint

because youtube now sees and hears EVERYTHING on their platform

what

it always has

no it hasent, its never had the ability to monitor all content with the ability to delete content in a way that could be used with neerly 100% accuracy by copyright companys before, its now VERY close to that

5 years ago videos of white noise were getting falsely content-ided and there was a shitstorm

thats the problem

the accuracy is *why* it's better

videos with white noise getting falsely content-ided is what protected them

yes

thats not happening anymore

and more accurate systems to detect copyrighted content is why

they feel more safe so they don't let as many videos slip through the cracks

that means if a copyright holder goes to youtube and says "get rid of this or we sue you" they have a better chance of doing it accurately
