And what happens to your life because of (data, passwords, photos, contacts, mail, messages, files, backups) that you voluntarily stored on their service?
Now why o why would that BIG TECH bunch wanna go and do that?
Hey, I know a word. CENSORSHIP! Censorship on a corporate level.
Take that, corporate level censorship deniers.
Now sock it to me! Sock it to me!

Too bad it's YouTube who has all this other great stuff.

Wonder why I was so ready to think YouTube did a PC Google? Hmm. Hmm.
Ah, the word, "conditioning," comes to mind. As in being conditioned to expect something.
Me dino has read of YouTube being accused of putting the quash on conservative videos.
Although I don’t like the solution, this is a great summary video on this,

But I was talking about the actual evidence he presented.
"Self censorship" is similar to what some countries call suicide, "self murder". That denigrates the concept of "murder". Same denigration of the concept of "censorship".
Let's see, it's now been 7 hours 13 minutes since YouTube censored--or else pulled?--that video Solver put up.

There's our platform of choice.
BlockChain rocks. They can't knock that down.
Decades ago, it was that California is a bellwether State and trends developed here would be accepted by the greater United States, on a 2 decade lag.
It was true for a while but California shifted so much to the left that the country will never join up.
It is one thing to be technologically advanced and quite another to pile political correctness on top of it.
And there is the problem with Big Tech. They usurped their reputation and leading status in tech to add political goals.
It is too late to remedy that now. It is like the deep state, remedy comes from complete replacement involving the deletion of the present state.
It'll be a huge effort and I don't see anyone being able to take it on.
Consider the case of communications companies. They are regulated as to speech content (Radio/Television) customer relations (telephone companies) Rates (telephone and utilities) . If Big Tech (Google, Twitter, Instagram, etc) is classified as a public utility and the processes in place for the control and monitoring of such were place on Big Tech the hidden “censorship” of ideas and news would be minimized (but not eliminated). Rules for access and use would be codified and monitored. Rules for content would be also.
All policies procedures and internal guidance would be available or public review and comment.There would be established methods of protesting/challenging these itmes and obtaining a hearing on them.
This is some restraint on free trade of ideas but history has shown Big Tech does not support the free exchange of ideas and though but only of what “they” approve of. There are many things that would have to be worked out but this approach could work to open the flow of thoughts and ideas without the throttling by Big Tech.
Just my off the cuff thoughts. I know there are a lot of holes and problems in this idea but it is an approach that might work.
Keep growing your channel.
But unlike government, they are not using force. That discussion made that very clear.
