Since when did innocent until proven guilty stop being a thing? Not defending anyone here, just seems that principle is all but forgotten in modern society.
What happened to Al Franken three weeks after Leeann Tweeden, a conservative talk-radio host, accused him?
We absolutely need to investigate claims and make sure due process is not an up hill battle. At least 63% of rapes are not reported. Yet there needs to be due process. Due process is different from a private company deciding not to do business with you or pay you while due process is under way, so I'm not surprised by YouTube taking this action.
It's simple, any pictures of politicians we love like that are wild, goofy, alt-right conspiracy theories. We have 95% of news organizations already repeating the same stories as each other. When 95% all say it's a conspiracy, it is. Don't believe those other fringe rags.
Youtube cutting off their monetisation is not the same as putting the person in jail.
I didn’t say it was?
You did though. Innocent until proven guilty is a legal concept, not a business concept. Businesses are allowed to choose who to do business with.
That's the only context innocent until proven guilty ever existed, so yeah, you actually kind of did
Because cutting off monetisation has nothing to do with being proven guilty or not.
Then why are you framing your post like it was? If you get accused of raping a woman and you're going on live TV wearing your employee uniform defending yourself, your employer is firing you 10 out of 10 times.
Yes you did
You’re literally quoting a law that is used in court about penalties and it’s still up there. You forgot to delete before saying you didn’t say it. You’re both lazy and stupid.
It's not the legal system, it's a heartless corporation trying to maximize their revenue. Capitalizing on the situation.
