Most of the stuff I see on recommended on YT are are anti-consivitive. I never watch them and infect I hide all political stuff, because I go on YT to escape that drama.

YouTube is de-monetizing anything they deem to be offensive. This applies to conservatives and liberals. I don’t know the best solution to this... you have free speech vs private rights. It’s an interesting problem but I don’t think looking at it from a liberal vs conservative angle is the right approach.

13 RepliesNo, those conservatives can make their own safe space to spew their vitriol in their safe and secure echo chamber.

9 RepliesSocial media sites aren’t government run, so they can ban whoever they want. The 1st amendment only means the government can’t censor your speech, it doesn’t apply to sites lie Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube.

Conservatives wanted a totally unregulated internet with no government interference. So this is what that looks like.

1 ReplyDefinitely bias. When a company is that size, it changes things. It has responsibilities.

35 RepliesYour "free speech" rights only apply to the government. No one else has any obligation to tolerate whatever it is you choose to let fly from your mouth. Their "rights" include NOT having to hear someone elses irresponsible and toxic utterances.

6 RepliesYou have no rights. Play nice.

19 RepliesThere’s bias it’s not as extreme as many conservatives make it out to be but it’s there. It’s not censorship and it’s well working their rights. It is however -blam!-ing stupid

17 RepliesDo they have political biases? It's hard to be 100% objective. Are they censoring things? Obviously Are they censoring political views? To some extent, probably. Are they within their rights to do that? Yes.

They might as well identify as Liberal publishers already, instead of public platforms and be done with it.

2 RepliesWell, facebook has already been reportedly called out for masking or hiding conservative leaning pages and announcements. [url]https://gizmodo.com/former-facebook-workers-we-routinely-suppressed-conser-1775461006[/url] It's not 100% proven, but seeing how google modified all the Hillary searches during the election to be entirely positive, and his all the scandal searches (which everyone was looking for at that time) it really wouldn't surprise me in the least.

12 RepliesNo. Otherwise you wouldn't see Donald Trump on Twitter always making extremely questionable tweets.

In my opinion, social media and the news should have almost no bias towards the left or right at all. Politics have tainted the news.
