Re: The Linux Experiments YouTube channel has been terminated
#2Once again, using the private platform argument here: YouTube (owned by Google) reserves the right to terminate and de-platform anyone's account who has been in violation of YouTube's guidelines and terms of service.
You can criticise, protest, appeal, scream or throw a tantrum about it, etc but you should finally see that this can happen to anyone sitting on private platforms like YouTube.
YouTube will never change and it will only get worse.

That's not the issue here. The issue here is letting automated systems having final say on such destructive actions as terminating an account entirely, with no concrete way to appeal. From what I am aware of, few channels wrongfully suspended get reinstated through support but rather through public outcry on the likes of Twitter.

There is apparently a large contingent of people on this site holding the belief that if your private platform is large then the government should step in to force you to host things you don't want to host.
It's kinda funny, because it's effectively saying that they want to nationalize tech companies for being successful.

I don't think that's in disagreement with the parent. Whatever means YouTube uses to determine who to drop and who to keep is irrelevant because the point is that if you host content on someone else's servers you are giving them control.

#6Why should we care?
The tweet says it's been terminated "for some reason". WTF.
Maybe it's justified. Unless you can explain why they terminated and show you did NOT violate their, I don't care. Do your homework first.

No that's not true, there is a vast difference between regulation on business practices like this and nationalization.

If you think about it, publicly traded companies are precisely that: nationalized. They exist as partly as government fiat, and partly of managerial control, but not as property. They are, by necessity, of somewhat unknowable, and almost always unaccountable ownership, ownership so diffuse it may be regarded as a generally representative subset of and equivalent to the general public. As such, can any public company be regarded as private? Or treated as private? Their ownership is public, and no individual, or small, knowable, and generally convenable group of people can say: these are our servers. On the contrary, a group of people equivalent to the general public, a subset of them in fact public or pseudo-public institutions (pension funds, university endowments), are the owners. As such, public institutions should very much be treated as public entities. After all, it is the general public which owns them.

> nationalize tech companies for being successful
It's not saying that at all (nationalising companies is a very specific action that doesn't have anything to do with what you described).
That said, I don't agree with your premise which appears to be that this is bad. Converting something that is basically a utility already (i.e. everyone uses it and everyone expects to be able to. It's almost unthinkable to have daily life without it) to a nationalised company would be a good thing.

You are right.
The US has basically been a communist country since the 70s when it passed the ADA requiring businesses not only to serve the disabled but spend money to make sure disabled people can access their services.
There’s basically no difference between the US and the USSR ever since.
