yes
they're all different companies owned by corporates, they never guaruantee free speech, it's jst appreciated when they do.
Which is why there is 2 options for them
1. Threaten them with regulation unless they fix their act
2. Nationalize them
@Doctor Anon The social effects are not worth it.
Giant corporations are a larger threat to our freedoms than the fucking goberment
nationalizing social media seems kind of contradictory since the government could censor anything it deems offensive
not to mention several of these media giants have local versions
youtube for example
@Deleted User Nationalization would mean the constitution applies
debil
but it only nationalizes the local version
unless you somehow find away to nationalize youtube in foreign nations
is that even possible?
Youtube would be owned by the government, meaning its rules applies universally
Specifically free speech rules primarly
Set rules, like in ToS could be established to protect free speech for non-u.s users
what about hate speech
Nationalised YouTube
there is the more reasonable side to censorship and that is to censor downright hurtful material
@Deleted User Hate Speech isnt defined by U.S law
it dosent exist
the only reason why youtube sucks ass at censorship is because the moderators only work on social stuff, the company lets bots choose what is ok and what isn't
"downright hurtful"
is subjective
seperate edgy kids from pshyopaths
that's what the bot is shit at doing
seperating joke videos making fun of politics from fucking ISIS
Youtube has thousands of employees focused on taking down videos
go on
It should be left up to corporations.
There will always be a platform that advocates for free speech.
Just because it is not mainstream however, doesn't undermine it.
That makes free speech niche and thus useless

The advantage of free speech is not to watch porn or produce loli, it is to allow people to know whether those in power are being truthful to them or not.
If you make it so a person speaking truth has to wait for a decade as he gets enough viewership on a small platform, you have already lost in achieving that goal
government treading is more harmful than corp treading
crop treading isn't even treading you can choose to use alternatives
nationalizing something like youtube would be even worse depending on government
