What Happened?
On Christmas Eve, Bitcoin.com contributor Graham Smith warned, “At least six crypto Youtube channels have reported in recent hours that their content is being removed under the site’s ‘harmful and dangerous’ policy, with one popular channel claiming Youtube pointed to a ‘sale of regulated goods’.” The purged channels received no warning, no plausible explanation. Presumably, the “harmful and dangerous” policy so vaguely referenced by Youtube was an alleged violation of Section 17(b) of the Securities Act of 1933.
The purgening continues. Lots of forenotice. Whatever TFBPTB want, TFBPTB get, under Gov. statute fig leaf - mandated crypto backdoors are next. "If you don't censor, you're a carrier and cannot be held liable for content." "If you censor, you are not a carrier and are liable for all content." The forever bracketted corporate ollyghuarchs are having it both ways and whilst freely liberating themselves from all liability. Are we completely doomed to enslavery? What is even possible in response?
