When you allow corporations to operate as lawless autocracies that are above the law they tend to do what ever they damn well please. Maybe we should have regulated the internet as the utility that it is rather than gift it to billionaires.
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.
Get out of here with your critical thinking!!!

Again. Not a rapist until proven so in a court. And yes, I understand the difficulty in proving it and I believe him to be guilty, but not a rapist until proven so.
I know there is a huge failing by the courts with these types of cases but we must avoid trial by media at all costs.
As long as the content itself is legal, why shouldn't they?
Where do you draw the line? Rapist, Alleged rapist, Murderer, someone who committed assault, fraud? They'd have to demonitize a good chunk of the entertainment industry.
Add communist to the list. Happened before, and history tends to repeat itself.

Actually YouTube should be exclusively rapist-produced.
