I assume most people on here are pro free speech an all that. But what about content creators deleting YouTube comments? Is that different?

why would it be

its no different from youtube deleting creators

though to be fair sometimes its done because of guilt by association

Thats what I was thinking. Wanted to see what some others thought.

any argument goes both ways

maybe, I mean its an individuals channel...

on a private companies platform?

youtube is a corp

why does one of them have rights the other doesnt

but an individual maybe could

I feel like if you allow comments then allow anything or just disable your comments.

well its not free speech if its not absolute

you're either free or there are limits

but what about the expression of the individual who's channel it is

what about the expression of the company

hmm but also I dont think its against free speech to block someone. Ive blocked people I used to be friends with that turned nasty.

companies dont have rights

the people that own them do

its their property

sure

if i start my own business why do you get to tell me what i can do with it

and they can do what they want on their private channels I guess

hmm but then a business should be able to choose who they do business with.

private channels that i own from my company

you profit off my back

you dont own youtube

yeah they should be able to decide who they do business with... but remember, viewers aren't arent the consumers or business partners.. they are the product

who they do business with is advertisers

content creators are essentially contractor/employees

hmm

I see both sides.

lmao thats a stretch

Autism

sargon is an employee of youtube lol

effectively... he is creating content, attracting more product

arnt content creators self employed?
