Involving the government can only make things worse, eh?

how does that fix the problem of moderating YouTube?
It would mean that YouTube couldn't lean on the combine tech of Alphabet to develop copyright filters. I'm sure that it would be a sharp business decision to drop the whole Content ID thing at that point since it only costs them money and pageviews.

It's nice to believe in things without facts. But it's called "Religion."
Citing moderation isn't the same as proof of widespread censorship.

Re: Re: Zero empathy
As far as I know, Patents are an artificial monopoly. Real free-market Libertarians should know that the market doesn't need such protections.
And China is proof of that - they don't give two shits about patents, they just knock themselves out to produce new things as fast as possible.
