They're not even hiding their intentions.

Their lack of shame is amazing.

Why America is not rioting in the streets for this and countless other bald-faced abuses is beyond me.

Twitter and Facebook control the mindless outrage of the public. They're not against this, so there's no call to action.

Technology has outpaced lawmaking. Social media has become incredibly important to political discourse. I just hope these tech monopolies will be held accountable in the future for interfering in politics.

Agreed the way the GoP and Trump have treated honest hard working Americans is fucking disgusting!

Because they have very successfully struck down any attempts at organization.

Rioting does not seem to be the best option after your neighborhood is burned down and the message you rioted for, ended up harming the wrong people.

Also, to touch on a sensitive topic and perspectives of maliciousness; when segments of the African American population rioted against perceived maltreatment; many people denigrated it (using their internet words) as a "chimp-out", as opposed to- fighting for their rights against abusers. And of-course, the supremacist state would always perceive counter actions that seek to do damage as needing "corrections" while further clamping down on individual liberties and possibly implement martial law for their own benefit.

So if you wanted chaos in the neighborhoods, people being harmed of their livelihoods and the military to get involved in possibly human rights violations; then continue. But if you do continue in the calls for violence, then you may also be an advocate or agent provocateur of CIA proportions!

Make your pick but the real question is: Is the CIA involved on saidit?probablyyes

Dude, it was a turn of phrase. In no way was I or will I ever call for violence. Geez.

How is this a Thing? WHat the hell is wrong with these asshats trying to control--and manufacture--the narrative!?!?

They should be ruled as a public forum, they should have to be neutral on free speech. It's wrong to allow biased corporations to control our speech.

that's right, the state needs to seize the means of production!!! y'all are so pro capitalism until it's suddenly inconvenient. don't like the policies? don't use the platform. 'nuff said.

Who's "yall"? You don't know me or the people that agree with my position on this. The all or nothing crap is a really stupid approach from both sides and this is the perfect issue to show them both as hypocrites, they essentially switched sides on this issue. I would bet you wouldn't take the same "don't like the policies? don't use the platform" approach when it comes to restaurants or bakeries denying people for their sexuality or race, or how about net neutrality? Do you think drug companies, hospitals, EMTs should be allowed implement a conservatives only policy?

I've always believed in a well regulated market to prevent abuses, to protect our constitutional rights, to provide choice etc Monopolies, duopolies, and other captured markets of importance need regulating, and Youtube is essentially a major public forum.

Oh damn I just looked at your profile and you're one of those "everyone not on the far left is a nazi REEEEE" morons, seek help

If you can't win against their arguments, silence them?

Not an argument. Stick to pyramid of debate.
