@xXPuppyLoverXx Yes it is within their rights. That is why we need IBOR. The Internet Bill of Rights.

It's a private company telling you to go away, not a country arresting you for thought crime

They are under no obligation to host your content

@The Gwench would the IBOR allow Isis videos and videos promoting shakeria law?

If you ban sites deleting videos you end up with a very big problem

Since that goes completely against a lot of copyright law

I could pirate a film, host it on YouTube and they wouldn’t be allowed to delete it

@I-VaPE-ChEMtrAiLS Regrettably, this would still not fix the problem with terrorist propaganda.

Nice dodge

You couldn't possibly remove it if there was an IBOR

By al means, force ISPs to treat all traffic equally but forcing websites to treat all hosted content equally just isn’t practical

@xXPuppyLoverXx The Internet bill of rights is about freedom of your own speech...not someone else’s.

<:thonk:485324336874651650>

But if it applies to all people everyone would be able to post anything

YouTube is censoring opinions
They take down videos talking against Islam cause it is not advertiser friendly
And yeah they are in their right to do that
However they've started demonitising that kinda vids which I think is fair

Because of their own freedom

A website deleting your video isn’t a freedom of speech problem

A government arresting you for posting your video is

Just because you have the right to say something doesn’t mean everyone is forced to listen to you

So the IBOR is for a few select people?

Otherwise it would allow Isis vids

@I-VaPE-ChEMtrAiLS The IBOR would allow ISIS videos.

Relevant xkcd as always

It's not freedoms of speech problem but it is censorship and it's within their right to do that tbh

However, there could be ways around the ISIS videos if they are found to incite violence.

Which is the current system

Eh you can find snuff with a few clicks what's your point

The IBOR would be useless as nothing would change

There’d just be a ton more porn on youtube

Nice <:snapsnap:484956825863585792>

However, people that have pro-trump views are being censored. Without having committed any incitement of hatred or violence.

Everyone protrump is being censored?

Are they being purged from the internet by the government? Or do sites just not want that stuff on their site

I can find YouTubers who actively support trump and still have their platform

If I was running a website and some fuckwit started going on about how trump is the messiah then id probably remove it, that’s not censorship though

@Satan The censorship is in the form of shadowbanning. You need to know specifically who or what you are looking for.

Where is this happening?

The rules in this server would also no longer apply

I could send satanic images and speak in not English and you couldn't stop me

It is censorship @xXPuppyLoverXx

But you're not wrong to be doing that
