I saw a raging argument between two people online about this very area.
Believe it or not, there are people who think they have a 'right' to post content/videos on a site.
I think sometimes a sense of entitlement can overpower any potential for rational thinking.

The "You" in "YouTube" implies that it is for "You". What YouTube are doing is shifting the balance way from the "You" toward "Me" and this is them laying the groundwork for that. They are going to start removing non-corporate, non-celebrity channels and soon it'll only be Jimmy Kimmel, Will Smith, Conan O'Brien, CNN and so on. They're going to turn into the mainstream media that people flocked to them to avoid.

It's really not that simple. The problem is that these "platforms" act as publishers, but don't carry the risk of a publisher. A publisher can be sued for content published on their site, but a platform has protection against being sued, because they are viewed as more of a public utility. This really comes down to free speech. If YouTube is declared as a publisher, then yes, they can discriminate on what content they wish to publish, but can also be sued for said content. If they are declared as a platform or utility, then they do not have that right to deny their service or censor the content.

Idiot - An individual without knowledge and allows social media to do the thinking for them.

Then they should change a little bit the model of making money that they use... because for me, that's not a "service" is a "busines" and as such... and more being from google... they will do as they want, when they want. And anyone thinking another thing is a bit naive.

Even illegal or highly unethical content?

They're just tired of having to answer the hard questions about their content policy. You know, questions, like, "What is your content policy?"

Low-cost virtual reality (VR) platform Google Cardboard is now available as an open source project to let developers create new VR-powered apps and adapt existing ones to new devices. Opening up the source is the new "cancelled"

I don't think so... they will wait until it gets more extended and then cancel it

Nah! Open sourcing it is so that people start relying on it.
Only when there's a critical mass of dependent projects based around it will they cancel the thing!
As yet, there's not enough people using this to make it worth the effort to cancel.

This post will walk through some of the core inference techniques within an optimizing compiler: how to model a program in a way that is easy to work with, infer facts about your program, and using those facts to make your program smaller and faster. It looks like you're trying to write inefficient code, would you like help with that?

How can an organization with multiple teams and projects, with deeply rooted existing processes, and with considerable legacy software change its ways and embrace DevOps? By skipping over the QA steps?

The Microsoft Defender ATP Research Team says that the BlueKeep attacks detected on November 2 are connected with a coin mining campaign from September that used the same command-and-control (C2) infrastructure. And while you're patching, maybe upgrade to Windows 10?
