Free Speech Shut Down On You-Tube

[Albert Doyle]

And this, I suppose, is where the exception confounds the rule. The world simply ain't black or white but various shades of grey.

I think what we are talking about is people who get so much power or exist in institutions that are so big and remote that the ends justify the means despite the cost to the individual. Once You-Tube got touched by the billions of Google it no longer worried about the needs of its individual users and now responds to bigger aims that have more to do with lawyers, national security agencies, and politicians than people. The public has to be strong enough to punish arrogant companies that do this or it will lose.
