This is a gross violation of the right to free speech. Youtube is no longer just a private company. They're more of a public square where masses of people from all over the world communicate ideas. Now Youtube is stating that many of those ideas are not allowed. This is a fascist action by nature. Big Tech needs to be regulated if they are going to be so blatantly political and partisan.

Not really, no. People can post all the ideas they want, you just can't make claims without evidence to back them up. Personally, I'd love to see this extended.

Forget politics, we could extend this to obvious nonsense like homeopathy, creationism, holocaust denial or Nickelback fans.

So your solution to politics and partisanship is regulation by partisan politicians?
