RE: YouTube's Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule (COPPA) Manipulation. (Video Version)
By the way, legally speaking, they are not really able to pass the fines onto the channel owners. By the way, technically speaking, when you make a channel on YouTube, you are not the administrator, the owner of that channel. There are YouTube videos out there that talk about this. I agree with what they say. It's a long story. Now, of course, bad people are always trying to change the laws. They try to selectively enforce laws. So, some laws may be bad. Some laws may not be enforced. Sometimes, they try to use laws and other things to attack conservatives, etc. Some of the judges are corrupt. So, of course, they try to do things legally that they should not be allowed to do. So, I was saying that they shouldn't be able to pass the fines down to alleged YouTube channel owners. But that does not mean they're not trying to. So, that may happen if it hasn't already. That's why people have to get involved politically and everything before we lose everything.
A fight in court on passing down the fines I would think is an easy win. As I state in my post, content providers do not gather info therefore can not violate the law. YouTube can not just pass on to other people their legal obligations. I think it's an easy case to win. However, I sure agree with you on the legal system and corruption mixed with political bias. Oh, I hear ya there and we can all see it. Google has been in so much trouble lately but it's no big deal to them. They pay the fines, play some games, and then continue on. It's a joke. Really nice talking with you. Yeah, we need to stand up for ourselves. We need to learn to say "No" and we need to push back.
However, if YouTube takes down the content, then is Google not breaching their own liability protection agreement by moving from being platforms to become publishers? See, as soon as you begin to act like publishers, then you cannot legally have liability protection, the Safe Harbor Act, etc.
Yeah, I have noticed they want to be a platform in some cases and a publisher in others. I heard some folks are trying to get them to say in court which they are as part of a suit filed by folks whose channels were terminated. That way it is on record and will end that little game.
Alex Jones talks about it. Other people talk about it. That is true. We can look at what happened legally with AT&T in the 1970's and Microsoft in the 1990's as they were in court for years fighting against like the United States. I would like to see tech cartels go to court now in the 2020's. The problem is that there are many corrupt judges. That is is the tough part.
Indeed.
