You are missing my point: The companies deplatforming Alex Jones and content providers like him are toxic to their *business* model. It doesn’t matter whether the part of the public complaining about certain content are “a bunch of little bitches” or legions of prudish middle class mothers (who probably complained the most about soft porn content on YouTube given how their kids could easily find it), social media companies in the US have the right to manage their *for-profit* businesses as they see fit.Originally Posted by Zap_the_Fractions_Giraffe
I never said what the tech companies did was illegal or should be illegal, I just think it sucks, and I think the people who are celebrating the deplatforming are the worst of the worst kinds of people, a bunch of little bitches. and if YT, Google, Apple deplatformed The Young Turks or some Antifa channel or some communist channel I would have the same opinion
Oh, and don’t buy the rightwing bullshit that only rightwing YouTube political commentators were targeted by YouTube’s Adpocalypse. Leftwing shows like The David Pakman Show, The Humanist Report, and even the Young Turks, got slammed by a loss in ad revenue, but the smaller shows relied more upon their ad revenue than TYT, so they suffered proportionally more. It’s also why TYT started including advertising directly into the clips of its shows they post on YouTube, reducing the need to rely on Google’s AdSense for ad revenue.
