Don't ever forget the internet was created from US government using TAX PAYER dollars. Any large scale monolithic platform operating on that network should transitively be open net-neutral style. Huge monopoly sites problematic, but they still operate on the public funded IP.

Thats a pretty weak argument. A large entity doesnt become more obligated to host things it doesnt want to because it is large, and the subsidy argument can be expanded to a huge number of industries and we quickly come to ridiculous conclusions

Wikipedia epic paragraph regarding pragerU "frackting freedom" ...



PragerU releases one video per week on various topics from a conservative viewpoint.[4][6] As of January 2020, its YouTube channel included 871 videos.[26] PragerU largely avoids mentioning President Donald Trump. Each video costs between $25,000 and $30,000 to create.[2]

Videos on PragerU have defended capitalism, argued against a $15 minimum wage, argued that gun ownership is a constitutional right, and argued that the media cannot be trusted. In one video, Dave Rubin argues that "racism, bigotry, xenophobia, homophobia, and Islamophobia" are "meaningless buzzwords". In a video on the topic of the alt-right, Michael Knowles argues that it is similar to the American Left, saying "the alt-Right has nothing in common with conservatism, and is in fact much closer to leftism... Except of course, the left is much, much larger."[2] In 2018, PragerU published an anti-legal immigration video by Michelle Malkin, a conservative known for defending the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II.[27]

Other PragerU videos defend the Electoral College, arguing that "pure democracies do not work" and that the Electoral College thwarts voter fraud.[7] In more than a dozen videos, PragerU promotes fossil fuels and disputes the scientific consensus on climate change; in one of the organization's videos, viewed over 1.5 million times, fossil-fuel proponent Alex Epstein promotes misinformation about climate change, including false and misleading claims.[28] According to Mother Jones, still other videos argue there is no police discrimination toward African-Americans, and the gender pay gap does not exist.[7]

Monopolism of platforms is threatening free speech, but no laws exist to address it. That just says we need new laws. Of course, that very censorship makes it harder to drum up the support for such laws. Then again, tyranny isn't sustainable.


Hold up, we got a conservative trust-busting?

Oh, I'm about this.

Conservatives seem to think that free speech means being able to say it anywhere at any time to anyone.

Nobody is owed a platform or an audience. Removing from youtube or universities is not a free speech issue. You still have the ability to talk to anyone you want, just not on a stage you don't own.


Freedom of speech means you have to stfu and listen and not bitch about it.

It is his right to host content on YouTube. Don't treat him like a mexican.

But only when it's something I agree with. When it's somebody I disagree with then they aren't owed anything and we should petition universities to get rid of those things.
