Alphabet tolerates huge amounts of pro Taliban, pro CCP, and pro Russian content on YouTube. Like to the extent that it is dangerous , especially the pro Taliban content.

What do you expect them to have sensors that speak other languages? That’d eat away at profits

Except in very egregious instances, it is probably better to let content of a variety of viewpoints exist instead of trying to police which ones are dangerous. It is definitely easier. For the Russian creators it is not about policing their viewpoints, but stopping monetization (which could also reasonably be argued for or against).

They love to have it both ways is the problem. They can censor whatever they want because “we are a private company “ but have zero liability for allowing literal terrorist content to propagate.

Yes, they do. Social Media sites are private platforms, which users pay in data to access.
