THESE ABUSIVE INTERNET MONOPOLIES NEED ANTITRUST ATTENTION: Video Blogger Says YouTube Threatened Her Over EU President Interview.
A French video blogger selected to interview European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said Sunday she was pressured by YouTube to ask “soft questions” during the webcast.
“I found out they expected for me to ask only very soft questions,” said Laetitia Birbes in a Facebook video about her interactions with YouTube before last week’s interview. “The whole point was to give advertisement to Juncker.”
When information monopolists play politics, it’s a serious issue.
