That’s only a legal principle - he’s not in jail, is he? Individuals and organizations can do whatever they want. It has nothing to do with modern society.
Punishing people based on accusations isn’t just.
Fuck it, I’ll bite. Let’s fight in the bailey:
It is when it’s rape and you’re a right wing creep who has been known for decades to be a creep.
We don’t live in your nightmare world anymore where rapists can exploit the principles of the old empire to get away with subjugating everyone else.
Innocent until proven guilty is an anachronistic idea that is way past its time. We accept credible accusations from rape victims as evidence now because we are no longer primitive sexists who assume women are lying about everything. We have video now. A lot of rape cases don’t actually need trials because the dumb fuck rapists record themselves doing it and put the videos on Facebook. Rapists are rarely ever arrested or charged despite overwhelming evidence because of sexism. The founding principles of the Constitition themselves are outdated, increasingly irrelevant, and do not reflect the reality of today’s world with today’s values.
The statistical nature of rape means the fact this guy’s being cancelled and more importantly charged over it means he’s guilty. The odds are too low for him not to be.
So we trust the accusations, and unless evidence comes out proving them false, you don’t have shit to say.
Now go ahead and waste everyone’s time debating the value of innocent until proven guilty, I’ll play along, fuck it.
Since when are corporations actions based on justice?
Is this him being punished or YouTube protecting it’s brand?
No, punishment by the state based on accusations isn’t just.
He should be able to sue youtube for a nice settlement (if he is in the right), maybe? Idealistically, that should keep such bullshit in check.
But then again, youtube probably has “Youtube reserves the right to do fucking anything to you” in its TOS that everybody just skips.
