Tech watchdogs call on Facebook, Google for transparency around censored content
I&#x27;ve been thinking about the concept of censorship by tech companies lately, and I&#x27;ve come to a question I&#x27;m not sure the answer to. Ethically, why is society ok with forcing a company to provide a service they find morally reprehensible, for instance the baker who was sued for refusing to make a wedding cake for a gay couple, and at the same time we argue that YouTube has a right to refuse to provide a service to customers because of the content of their videos?<p>It strikes me as incompatible. It seems we ought to either believe companies are legally required to provide their service to all comers or they&#x27;re not.
