The Supreme Court Declines To Hear Capitol Records ...

Just read about that supreme court decision where they threw out PraegerU’s claim that YouTube is subject to the 1st amendment.

This was the position of the judges: “merely hosting speech by others is not a traditional, exclusive public function and does not alone transform private entities into state actors subject to First Amendment constraints.”

Here’s a list of subsidies from around 2010 that Google the owner of YouTube received:

Who knows how much more was thrown their way these past 11 years.

That’s taxpayer money.

I’m a taxpayer.

Don’t restrict my speech.

And don’t play doctor.

Youtube is disgusting

YouTube was founded, fostered, and currently operates in the United States and is not a publisher but a platform so it should adhere to the letter and color of the law as per the 1st Amendment.
