You're welcome.





Who has the keys to the internet?
Do they reside in the USA?

There's pertinent info in the paragraph above this in the following article, too.

"The courts have not clarified the line between acceptable editing and the point at which you become the "information content provider." To the extent that your edits or comment change the meaning of the information, and the new meaning is defamatory, you may lose the protection of Section 230."

So perhaps a lawsuit will clarify. But editing doesn't automatically, universally render it yours.



The telephone company cannot edit your communications, or deny you service in the same manner.

The equivalent to the telephone company is an ISP, not a website. Try again.

The Phone company is the provider. The callers are the publishers, out to private people, or amplified speaker.

Yes they are, or they selectively edit and in no longer is an open public communications platform. They closed the door. It is censored communications and no longer open communications. They can now be held liable for any libel and defamation they now publish. They are no longer just providing it, with the user as the editing publisher.

Deleting it from their hosting is not an edit, fact.

It's deleting it from their servers, fact.

They still exist, they simply no longer host them.


Thousands of things get deleted from all those platforms on a daily basis.

And? Just because you have the ability to access a phone, it doesn't mean other people with a phone have to let you communicate with them. Is a business compelled to sit there on the phone no matter what you say? Can you demand to use a phone in a store? They may have business reasons to let a customer do so, but they are under no obligation to do so.

Can you call a paid chat line and say you don't have to pay because the telephone company cant limit your phone use themselves?

It is not YOU TUBE anymore.. It is now LIBERAL TUBE.

The technical term would be an editorial retraction. The editor removed the content.

It's a business. If you dont like that they theoretically are turning it into LiberalTube according to you, you dont have to use it. You can go find Gab or a similar platform. Convince people to make ConservaTube. Make ConservaTube yourself. So many options.

Exactly... When on TV... It is called turning the channel or not going to that channel in the first place. On the internet, it is the same. the consumers of the content make their own choices. Just like you choose not to answer the phone or open an e-mail.
