I don’t think it’s politics at all.

See politics, definition 3a

It’s not a governmental issue except to the extent hearings will be held, legislation considered, and YT wants to head that off.

I would think legislation attempts to control content on youtube would be a violation of the 1st amendment.

YouTube is privately owned. Even still, is the FCC violating the first amendment? (my thought on that, by the way: maybe!). Anyway, isn’t this just about not allowing someone to monetize their video?

Agree on the maybe! re FCC. Re Logan, yes. But points to the shoddy fashion YT ignores presence of most bad content. Agree most of this better suited to Current Events, but 1st Amendment issue gets the issue closer to home in this thread.

I agree too that YT needs to be a lot better about that stuff.

And yeah, the first amendment stuff is suited for here, but I’m not really sure how far that discussion could go. It’s hard to say it’d be a violation based on the things I mentioned.
