   That's the other side.   
      
   YouTube has declared themselves to be a "platform".  So, like the phone   
   company, does not monitor content and can't be held responsible for objective   
   content.  Note that this is pre-emptive monitoring.  If someone REPORTS   
   objectionable content, YouTube can take action and still be a "poatform".   
      
   But as soon as they started monitoring content and pre-emptively blocking   
   content, they switched to the other side and became a "publisher", who IS   
   responsible for their content.   
      
   This is our frustration: YouTube wants to be a publisher, but doesn't want to   
   be held accountable for content.  The law says that they need to stay on one   
   side or the other.   
      
    IJ> Like you can't sue the ink and paper companies for content in the NY   
    IJ> Times.   
      
   Correct.  But you can sue the NY Times for libel.   
      
   In the case of YouTube, they want to only allow "good" people to have ink and   
   paper.  But want to say "we only sell ink and paper".

   Which is what most people are saying.   
      
   The Biden Regime should be in prison for violating the Constitution.   
   YouTube should be severaly punished for listening to them.
