RE: My YouTube Channel Is On The Verge Of Deletion

in #politics6 years ago (edited)

Stefan has been a private propery rights above all kind of guy all his career , what that leads to is the monopoly like FB/TW has over the digital town square.

Even if that's true it wouldn't be hypocrisy, unless he was trying to strip them if their property rights for some reason (which of course he isn't).

You're also assuming his "complaint" is based only around the idea of it being a large company. If this happened on Vimeo or if there was no monopoly sort of thing, he may still wish to not have strikes on his account.

And no, it's a pretty lousy assumption that property rights is what leads to centralization and monopolies. You realize we live under a state and that these platforms exist in a controlled/regulated environment right?

Seems like you just don't like Stefan lol.

Sort:  

Yes, Lol indeed.

these platforms exist in a controlled/regulated environment right?

That's the whole point they don't exist under appropriate regulation , if they did , such monopoly would not exist.
Under appropriate regulation ,maybe as a utility , political speech would be treated under first amendment /free speech mandate . Just like ISPs can't block Infowar for customers , FB shouldn't be able to block it as well.

You're also assuming his "complaint" is based only around the idea of it being a large company

It's pretty obvious he is complaining since youtube has a large audience. I don't see how your tangent about vimeo is relevant at all.

Seems like you just don't like Stefan lol.

Oh, you're saying you want them to be controlled so that the controllers force them to let everyone use their platform? That seems awful to me and unlikely to work out as you want lol

But in any case you should think through what inconsistency/hypocrisy means. Stef would only be guilty of it if he said "free market / non aggression" and did otherwise. Asking for support to help stay on the platform is a non aggressive action.

The Vimeo thing is saying that the size and scope of the site has nothing to do with whether Stef's behavior violates free market / non-aggression

Lol.

Nice try, kiddo. That sentence wasn't intended as an argument. I was just adding a little flair to the end :p The arguments were up above it

Alright man. ..have a nice day
