I have received complaints that Google’s @YouTubeTV is discriminating against faith-based programming.

These concerning allegations come at a time when American public discourse has experienced an unprecedented—and unacceptable—surge in censorship.

I’m asking Google for answers

    The fcc has no authority over YouTube TV since it’s not broadcast. Doesn’t really matter what the FCC wants until Congress explicitly adds the power for them to control non-broadcast media. And oh boy will that not be good.

      Even if they were broadcast TV does the FCC have a say here? Isn’t a broadcaster supposed to prioritize popular content that maximizes views and ad revenue? “DEI for thee, not DEI for me” it sounds like.

        There is a significant public interest component to broadcast, including producing some programming for the public good and providing fair access to all. Reagan dismantled a lot of those mandates, so I don’t know what’s remaining.
