That's the other side.

YouTube has declared themselves to be a "platform".  So, like the phone
company, does not monitor content and can't be held responsible for objective
content.  Note that this is pre-emptive monitoring.  If someone REPORTS
objectionable content, YouTube can take action and still be a "poatform".

But as soon as they started monitoring content and pre-emptively blocking
content, they switched to the other side and became a "publisher", who IS
responsible for their content.

This is our frustration: YouTube wants to be a publisher, but doesn't want to
be held accountable for content.  The law says that they need to stay on one
side or the other.

Correct.  But you can sue the NY Times for libel.

In the case of YouTube, they want to only allow "good" people to have ink and
paper.  But want to say "we only sell ink and paper".

Which is what most people are saying.

The Biden Regime should be in prison for violating the Constitution.
YouTube should be severaly punished for listening to them.
