You're kind of weird. Since when does YouTube "owe" you something. How much do you pay to use YouTube? YouTube is a platform. You are not entitled to this platform. Here's an idea, pay for a REAL ISP that will allow you to run internet services, since video streaming is pretty bandwidth intensive thing, expect to pay about $1000/month, buy a domain name, and administer your own server on your own site.

THAT IS WHAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT! The Terms of Service, which is a federal government.

@EmilySorvino By your logic the company's freedom of speech is being threatened by not being able to delete someone they want. Youtube's Terms of Service says they reserve the right to decide at any time whether content violates the terms of service, and without prior notice delete your account. It's also not inhibiting freedom of speech because you have the freedom to make another account(freedom of speech). Thats like saying someones breaking the law for taking someone off their friends list.

@DaFawky Their monitoring methods, their site, everything they do is governed by the U.S. Constitution. By your logic they could use the guillotine as an enforcement method since you don't think companies are subject to the law.

They can take anything about their rules and say someone didn't follow them, even if they didn't follow them they would be allowed to delete anyone they wanted. They can make a rule saying anyone who says orange can be deleted.

@EmilySorvino They have their rights to free speech and can decide what they do and do not want you to say using *their* site. They choose their own methods of enforcement too, which are volunteer monitors who report things for a variety of reasons which sometimes make sense and sometimes don't. There is no freedom of speech when you are using their service like there is in the US constitution.

@DaFawky The law applies to privately owned things as well. Comparing youtube to bringing weapons on real property is apples and oranges. Youtube presents itself as a vehicle of public communication and as the most widely used one it has an especially imporetant duty to uphold free speech law. Whether your school is public or private the principal has a right to search because you waive your due process in exchange for attendance. She actually would have an excellent 1st amendment case.

@Drac39 Unfortunately free speech only applies to public things. When something is privately owned, they have a right to take certain rights away. (eg; no guns on property). I learned this at my old school when I found out the principal had right to search my car whenever she wanted O.o

I love how US wave their free speech, rights, etc but worse than the Stalinist style government US hates.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Youtube has not right to censor free speech.
