I have no reason to doubt the allegations. But allegations shouldn't be enough for somebody to lose their livelihood.

Has he been banned from using the Internet? No? Then you’re spewing bullshit. YouTube doesn’t have to host his content and advertisers don’t need to pay him for it. He isn’t entitled to shit. He can fuck off to some right-wing hellscape of a site that will platform him. That’s capitalism baby!

FYI, even if ISP's were absorbed the the government and made into a utility as you suggest, Google would still own YouTube and still be able to demonetize whoever it wants.

I'm not sure why this thread is such a swarm of brainless zero IQ takes.
