#X PLANE 11 KEY BINDINGS SKIN#
My own personal opinion is that it's stupid to classify people as "Protected" or not, but rather any business that have reasonably-easy-to-find alternatives can do whatever the hell they like, refuse to serve customers based on skin color, gender, favorite programming language, you name it. (not anymore than any other kind of beliefs) Why are some religious groups protected for instance? it's just a bunch of beliefs, they could be as wrong or as dumb as any other set of beliefs right ? they are not immutable characteristics of the people believing them. Protected groups are arbitary and reflects lobbying and political considerations more than any moral truth. How is this any different, except that "online influencer" is a relatively new class of people unlike the other ones?Īppealing to protected groups is the weakest argument you could ever make for "Businesses can censor whoever they like".
They routinely do unimaginabley stupid and outrageous things and profit from the publicity that comes with it. "But he's going to benefit from this" ok so fucking what ? there's a whole class of people who do dumb, dangerous and harmful things for public approval and profit from it, they are called polliticans and celebrities. I can understand calls for censoring violent crimes and even then you don't get to make this decision for other people, censoring unpleasant things doesn't make them go away.īut with dumb online posts the case just completely falls apart. I don't get the obsession with removing dumb online stunts. And, furthermore, this is not an action that the business is going to take out of their own freewill, it's an action that you want to force on them by some mechanism of public rage, so it's not actually YouTube choosing who they do business with, it's YOU choosing for YouTube who they do business with, but masking it as YouTube's own decisions. Businesses that hold a massive and unfair effective monopoly on communication and information are different from unremarkable coffee shops.
