No it's totally not a violation of anyone's rights, but that doesn't stop me from being able to oppose the idea. Like how I support drugs being legalized but I don't think everyone should start doing drugs.

They aren't hosting the videos for free - they're displaying them alongside advertisements to make revenue off those videos.

Also, the rights given an individual are distinct from the rights given to a company, and IMO are distinct from the rights a company deserves (i.e. a company has no inherent right to exist).

By "free" I mean "at no cost to the user". If I wanted to host my videos on AWS or bare metal I'd have to pay for the privilege.

Marginalizing a group of individuals for nothing but their culture is a violation of individual rights if you ask me.
