1. I can't take seriously someone who writes "the cost of injustice" in this context. 2. When unions muddle the machinations of corporate management and production ultimately shutting the whole thing down surely they will be

I'm saying that YouTube is successfully blocking 99.9999% of cases but journalists make their living by that 0.0001% context and nuance be damned.

Supposing that's true where's the harm there? why should we restrict "speech" because of your colleague's beliefs?

The nytimes' publishings are protected by the first amendment and so is youtube's.

Because if you really care about it you have the option, otherwise it's a valuable resource that should be put to use.

Zealots would be upset sure but I'd argue most people won't. A shopping list is metadata and the issue here is data ownership, you can't own a shopping list, you can't even copyright one, if you don't want it to be

What's an example of an internet champion that's not a web one?
