But you see, it's "webscale"!

Do you feel that speech intended to harm should be prevented by prior restraint?

I would imagine some of the dissatisfaction with life that some of the school shooters feel is at least, in part, fueled by constantly being bombarded by advertisement that is trying to make a sale by convincing them that their life is terrible as it is without whatever they're selling.

This is why the US is a constitutional republic designed with a lower house that was elected by and represented the interests of the people of the several states and a senate that was appointed by the legislatures of the several states and represented their interests.

The drafters of the constitution did not want the citizens of the country to have up and down votes about specific policy. Add to that the limited spread of information due to lacking infrastructure (and, well, a man on a horse on a several day's ride being the fastest way to carry news), and the populace would be too ill informed to be able to make a decision based on current facts. This is also why the US does not elect presidents based on popular vote and uses electors are representatives for the local voters.

>Hate speech has been proven to be able to convince people by virtue of appealing to their emotions rather than their intellect.

Replace hate speech with advertising and it reads the same.

Or: 4. Google accepts the risk they have to pay you out of pocket the amount you lost while you appealed their demonetization if you win.

That risk should feed into how sensitive their automated system is at automatically demonitizing things.

The only way Google cares enough to change this is if their demonetization practices cost them money when they get it wrong.

I don't think this is down to human behavior. Some content has zero or negative value.

>it's very cumbersome to manage and use

Maybe if you just dump a large number of unsorted files in place and do nothing with them. With a decent file manager and an hour or so, you can add many books and symlink them to the metadata directory with no issue.

Is your position that lying to federal investigators is okay and should not be punished?

Martha Stewart, before she was a star, worked as a stockbroker and knew or should have known what she did was wrong.
