Rubin said that he created the platforms to help solve the massive problems with Big Tech that we all know exist, including things like deplatforming, algorithmic suppression and shadow banning. Locals.com, he said, will be where creators, as long as they are not engaging in illegal activity, will be able to establish online communities and be fundraised by their fans. Youre going to set your rules, whatever rules you want for your community, he said". (December 14, 2019)

But according to sources speaking to The Washington Post, Facebook has weighed whether to label political ads to indicate they have not been fact-checked, rather than vetting what candidates say, one of a series of proposals the company has floated leading up to the 2020 election".

As of today, YouTubes blog announced a series of policy and product changes that update how we tackle harassment on YouTube from both creators and commenters.

  5. "Facebook has taken some free speech stances that drew heavy criticism from fellow Big Tech companies, liberal commentators, and now the Democratic primary frontrunner. Former vice-president Joe Biden told The New York Times editorial board that Section 230 should be revoked, immediately for Big Tech companies. The Times called that provision pretty foundational to the internet. Biden spoke with The Times editorial board as it tried to determine which candidate to endorse as an organization. In the 80-minute discussion, Biden hammered Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and threatened to repeal the legislation that was intended to protect free speech on the internet". (January 17, 2020)

Wouldnt it be nice if conservatives had such a seemingly favored group? Wojcicki spoke to Eugene Lee Yang of The Try Guys on Dec. 16 regarding YouTubes harassment policy update and apparent efforts to appease the LGBTQ creator communitys concerns. Every single time we make a change, she emphasized, one of the factors measured is the impact on a set of LGBTQ creator videos. She also described how YouTube proclaimed it will deplatform creators, even those who have technically followed the rules, if they are perceived as repeatedly pushing the envelope of critiquing groups with a protected status".
