I don't think anybody should be able to say anything; but it's close. We have opinions and I value opinions and how are we to ever learn anything if we never hear something we don't already agree with?
The censorship battle at YouTube is heating up. The conspiracy theorists also known as Truthers don't talk about it quite as much because many of them have been eliminated or slowed down due to the censorship and others have simply moved on; complaining of everything they see anyway, and distracted on to the next thing.
But the serious YouTubers are apparently really in trouble.
I knew there was something to it when Pewdiepie complained because either he's allowed to succeed by the controllers to give YouTubers hope or he is what he seems- popular due to hard work and entertainment value. Either way; he wouldn't be complaining just to complain.
It seems to me that Google- who owns this Blogger site; is deliberately sabatoging YouTube. They paid a lot of money for it and it has no real competition to my knowledge, so it's a dumb move financially.
I suppose network tv is dead- in less than fifty years, probably twenty- so they're moving on to content and to YouTube Red; but why do this now since there is a way to keep us distracted on YouTube and make money on YouTube? Is it not about the money. or is it?
The censorship/fake news issue has hit the YouTube mainstream now. It's not just the crying wolf whiners who mention it; so we'll see what happens. Which term will win the argument; fake news or free press? That will determine the outcome: whether we row or wade, separate or equalize, pro-life or pro-choice or whatever.
