YouTube Takes Down U.S. Election Fraud Footage, Lawyers Suggest Class Action

In response to YouTube’s announcement to prohibit the uploading of the U.S. election fraud film and message, lawyers, political commentators member Samp said on the 10th, this violates the U.S. “Constitution” First Amendment freedom of speech fundamental protection, the public can set off a class action lawsuit or sue YouTube and other institutions in the United States, and also everyone a justice.

The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public.

He said, “If there is no real judicial independence, no real freedom of the press, no real freedom of speech, where is the oversight? Where is the fourth right of the press, where is the right of the people, the citizens to monitor the state?”

Samp argued that YouTube’s yellow and red labels, as well as Twitter’s cautionary tale, would affect users’ income, but a total blocking would be a big deal. Twitter said it might block the account of US President Donald Trump (Trump) after the election, from restricting freedom of speech to banning, what is the intention of the forces behind the control? It should be criticized and identified whether it is against the provisions of the U.S. Constitution and the spirit of the founding of the country.

For Trump to push 230 bills, requiring YouTube and others to take responsibility if they do not do a neutral platform to review the content, Samp said, Trump’s idea is very simple, that is, if the review, accountability is the responsibility of the platform. The media will sue the media itself if there are any false statements, defamation, etc. If there is no accountability system, “full censorship, full responsibility, Twitter, Facebook can carry so much responsibility?”

In Google and other platforms have terms of use when registering, can people express their dissatisfaction and resistance through legal or other means? Samp said, of course, people should seek legal channels, but each time to seek legal channels are labor, time, cost of the problem, are quite hurt. It needs knowledgeable people, especially those who have some money, can file a class action lawsuit or sue these institutions to return justice to everyone.

“If justice falls asleep, rights will fall asleep too, and human rights will not be truly protected.” Samp pointed out that these user terms controversy, can definitely become the conditions of judicial lawsuits, because many user terms are standard, institutionalized stereotyped contract, many consumers who saw the film, did not fully read the contents of the stereotyped contract to press the consent to start using, so that can not really regulate the network operators and consumers, I hope that everyone has the courage to set off a lawsuit in the United States.
