Councilman Tim Fitch, R-3rd District, called for the county to stop using YouTube to host its meetings.“We need to move away from a private company and find our own streaming service that does not take away the people’s right to speak,” Fitch said. “People get up and say things that I don’t agree with, and probably most people don’t agree with, but that’s their First Amendment right.”He continued, “That’s what public forum is about: giving people their First Amendment right to speak. It’s not sanctioning any of their comments, and we don’t get to censor that.”
The sad thing is that I'm not surprised. YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, et al., must long for the days of the USSR. They'd fit right in.
