YouTube Sued For Censoring Free Speech

In many eyes, the general consensus is that YouTube opposes non-progressive vloggers. Americans have taken to social media to express these concerns.

Marissa Streit, PragerU CEO, shared her thoughts on this matter also:

“You don’t have to be a conservative to agree that its wrong that YouTube and Google to censor conservative speech simply for ideological reasons. The platforms have become two of the most important public forums in the world. Google portrays itself as a public forum. It cannot now turn around and act as if it isn’t.”

“If Google is planning on censoring conservative speech, they’re being dishonest about the service they provide. There is an unspoken trust from the public in Google, as evidenced in the use of ‘google’ as a verb. If they are not in fact going to try to present information fairly, then that public trust is misplaced.”

Censorship and Fake News

PargerU’s complaint of YouTube censorship loosely relates to conservative complaints of fake news. Right wingers have made the case that search engines and news networks ought to be free of partisanship. YouTube, along with other brands, have faced heavy criticized for what many view as their promotion of leftist ideologies.
