Ep. 42: Youtube Has Some #adults crying censorship!

September 03, 2016

This week we discuss Youtube ignoring the first ammendment and the implications on the upcoming generations life lived on a screen.  Also, for some reason Anthony sounds a lot like Mark, Ryan is still watching Bachelor in Paradise and Bryce is questioning (as usual) why he let’s Ryan do this.  Join in on the conversation @christcorenet on twitter or by e-mailing us at podcast@christcore.net.

Discussion:  Youtube Censorship???  There has been an outcry among youtubers (specifically those who make money off youtube and post news related videos).  Because several of their videos were rendered unable to monetize due to a change in the youtube terms of service.  Does this force self-censorship?  Does a private website running on a government run service (the internet) have the right to do this?  Bare in mind in this case this isn’t youtube taking down videos, it is them stopping people from making money off of them.
