Of course there needs to be public responsibility or no successful businesses will ever get off the ground. Think about just how often you paid for services in advance expecting to get what you paid for - that's brought to you through public regulations. The food that you buy in the grocery stores and restaurants is usually safe thanks to public regulations.
Places with little public regulations don't have successful businesses because no one trusts anyone and will not invest or partake in local businesses.
Nope. Sorry. A business's only responsibility is its profit margins. A business that provides inferior products or services will not succeed.
Most other countries have FAR fewer regulations than the U.S., and it is MUCH easier to start and run a business in these countries. In most Asian or South American countries you can walk down any main street and purchase wares and food from vendors--of which hardly any are regulated.
Public regulations hinder growth and stifle innovation.
Only the government can viollate the First Amendment. Individuals and businesses cannot. This is not a 1A issue. Unless you can make the case that the banned videos represent federally protected classes, you don't have a case, and even then it might be sketchy trying to make that argument. They have the right to allow the content they want on their website. They have already cut out a lot of the porn that was creeping in. Gun videos are an equivalent to that.
While I wouldn't disagree, I would point out it's just further evidence of the battle lines being drawn leading up to civil war.
It keeps them from being held liable for defamation of character a libel, along with inciting violence.
That immunity will no longer exist.
The lawsuits will flow in fast and put them out of business.
I hope so. YT is horribly biased. It’s ridiculous what they have been getting away with compared to other companies that are subject to discrimination laws.
So if somebody wants to put up a video showing how to form a Neighborhood Wach group, or explain how law-abiding people can work with their local police to train as armed guards and walk around the school area with cooperation of the principal etc.....
.....they are out of luck? YouTube intends to ban them?
Why does YouTube want to put in place policies that increase the chances of nutcases committing more school shootings, rack up high body counts etc.?
You didn't read what I wrote. I said we can (and should) pass regulation on this. There is nothing in the constitution either saying a business cannot discriminate against black people. We added regulations after many businesses began doing just that. So now that many social media corporations are censoring the speech of the American public in an effort to drive political change - I think it's time to pass more regulations,
Those regulations of which you speak violate the Natural Laws of property rights and free association.
Businesses have the right to discriminate against anyone, regardless of so-called "regulations."
Besides, like I said, regulations are inherently anti-market. They stifle competition and inhibit innovation.
