RE: Is this the reason YouTube servers are crapping the bed right now?
youtube should be a place for people to express their opinion.. an extension of the 1st amendment.. users should not be censored over Youtube's left wing agenda.. People have the right to think differently and they should be allowed to, and to share their opinions
sure, but the platform shouldn't be actively promoting or spreading conspiracy theories. it's gonna be the downfall of YouTube if they can't figure out how to prevent it.
I agree. People have right to their opinion. People have a right to consume misinformation when it justifies their biases. People also have a right to correct and challenge that misinformation when they see or hear it. When these conspiracy theories are patently false and lead to the demonizing of victims. When people consider these conspiracy theories fact and harass these victims, then Youtube is liable for giving these people a platform. You can tout the first amendment if Youtube was a government institution. It's not, so they have a right as a private company to decide what content they allow on their site.
