I don\'t like the fact that Youtube censors Prager U, but this is the right decision.\
\
\"Indeed, the conservative nonprofit\'s lawsuit sought to radically alter the First Amendment, which constrains the government---not private actors like YouTube---from infringing on free speech rights. PragerU\'s suit rested on the claim that YouTube has become so ubiquitous that it is now a public utility owned by the people. The claim seems more at home among the rising democratic socialists often criticized by PragerU in its videos, and it\'s one that the Ninth Circuit fundamentally rejected.\"
