With youtube some reviewers videos get pulled due to the studio etc not liking it and saying it does damage to their product. Some video game reviewers have the same problem especially reviewing Nintendo products.



So I ask you are reviewers and their reviews protected under the first amendment?

The First Amendment doesn't govern private individuals or entities, only state actors.

I think the instances you mention have more to do with the amount of money those studios generate for youtube by allowing any of their shit to be shown.

Wink's as good as a nod to a blind man, eh?

I can't post naked pics of chicks on here, because it's not allowed by the owners.

Owners of Youtube pull videos negative to the people who pay more to them.

Their site, their rules.

Hit the streets with a placard if you care that much.

Clarity.

Yes!

Theoretically yes.

However, that seems to be changing in bits and pieces.  For example, a business that chooses not to create a product with a gay theme to it (more cake anyone?) might find themselves being fined and harassed by government agencies.

Incrementalism.

Not true.  The First Amendment has application between private actors in the context of libel and other instances.

This is true. It does not, however, force private businesses to host your video, web page, etc.

Just give it time...

Just so long as the "etc." part doesn't include "bake your gay wedding cake."

I agree. And I bet the attempt to force private sites to host content will be based on discrimination claims from so called protected classes.
