Teens watch Youtube more than TV. Youtube has been far more censorious and disregarding of Free Speech than anything the Australian Government has done.


Are you suggesting that having your video taken down from YouTube and going to jail are equally problematic?


If journalists are going to jail in Australia its because they have broken the law. At least you can vote for politicians with a different approach.

Channels (conservative ones) are banned and disappeared on Youtube for holding the wrong opinions, in violation of no laws, and there is no recourse.


People are free to use any video sharing website they want, or even set up their own, but it is significantly more difficult to change your country.


At Youtube you can at least upload your video. Try uploading your video on TV. TV is much more easier to control and censor.


Not for many of the channels which have been banned for wrongthink.
