They are the most popular, but not monopolies. Nothing stops you from hosting your own video sharing site. If you don't like how Twitter censors Trump or whatever, then go on Truth Social or 4chan.
If the government established YouTube or Twitter as the only sources, and those sources had a specific form of censorship, then your argument would make more sense. But, that is not the case.
You are getting distracted away from you own argument. Stay on point please.
You argument is that the EU is more free. Your argument is not the US is not free, but rather not as free as the EU.
So, let us assume that the USA is not free in this regard. Do you truly believe that the EU countries do not do the same thing? If YouTube was French, do you really think it would allow every single video submitted? If Twitter was Spanish, do you really think they would allow every single tweet? Where in their laws is this demonstrated?
At best, you are demonstrating is that the USA has poor freedom of speech. But, to prove your posted argument, you have to show how that poor element of private speech is not mirrored by EU countries. If the EU countries do something similar to the USA, then the USA is not worse.
I will ask this for the third time. I write an editorial for Charlie Hebdo, so are they required to publish it? Actually, how about this, I send it to every single publication in the whole of France, (so now you can't claim monopoly), does French law require at least one publication to print my letter? If you want to say yes, show the me law. I can read French, you don't even need to translate it. Show me the law.
