which means Google won't allow AdSense ads on the video

You believe this is happening? Why keep the content on your servers then? So you're saying YouTube will make zero dollars because they have a content provider, regardless of adsense, bringing 1 million views to their site? They won't watch any other videos or click ads? YouTube makes money either way and the content provider doesn't.

And regarding the sponsor thing. That's why I said they'll take their content elsewhere. I know companies will sponsor the big YouTube channels, but that's just one revenue stream for these people. They got the sponsor because the content creator started getting YouTube views and subscribers. Would you spend hours and hours creating content, which you used to be paid for, to only have it taken away because people are pussies and have a differing opinion?

It's banning plain and simple in my mind. It's just an opinion on my end, but I think it's closer to a fact than most opinions.

It's also a company not a government agency. Perfect opportunity for someone to launch a competing company which can set up rules that are selectively enforced.

Commented on another post. You're right. Not going to dispute that. I guess the problem I have is we're in uncharted territory. The vast majority of people looking for video content are going to be directed (by google) to Youtube (google). So google gets to decide, basically, what we should see? From a capitalist point of view, they're a business and can do what they want. But we have monopoly protections in place for this very reason.

I guess I'd argue that google is nearing monopoly level. The fact it's content and not necessarily a physical product is what's scary. People are stupid and just type google.com and believe it's the truth. Like I said, don't have an answer/solution, but I still think it's fucked up.

Lol we are agreeing on 2 different threads.

I know. Isn't patnet great!

That will absolutely happen with Libra coin.

It's another good reason we should all keep using cash. Sweden actually talked about eliminating cash and making everyone use credit cards for everything.

Credit cards identify you and give intolerant SJWs the chance to completely block your economic life if you are known to have "wrong" political thoughts. Super scary.

After years of disregarding privacy, exploiting user data, and failing to control its platform, Facebook has now unveiled a cryptocurrency and payment system that could take down the entire global economy. Governments must intervene before a company that "moves fast and breaks things" ends up breaking everything.
