YouTube has found itself in hot water with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) after facing allegations of discriminating against faith-based content. FCC chairman Brendan Carr sent a letter to Google, YouTube’s parent company, over complaints of potential discrimination at YouTube’s live streaming service as well as YouTube TV. Great American Media (GAM) company has complained to the FCC about YouTube’s refusal to carry any of its channels on its streaming services.

“Great American Media states that its Great American Family network is the second fastest-growing channel in cable television and, while they are carried on a range of cable and streaming services, including Comcast, Cox, Hulu, FuboTV, and DirecTV stream, YouTube TV refuses to carry them,” Carr wrote in his query to Google. Carr also noted an “unprecedented surge in censorship.” “In too many cases, tech companies silenced individuals for doing nothing more than expressing themselves online and in the digital town square. Therefore, I am writing to determine whether YouTube TV has a policy or practice that favors discrimination against faith-based channels,” he wrote.

While not offering any explanations as to why GAM has been excluded from YouTube streaming, a response from YouTube stated the company welcomed a conversation with the FCC. “We welcome the opportunity to brief the FCC on YouTube TV’s subscription service and the strategic business decisions we make based on factors like user demand, operational cost and financial terms, and to reiterate that we do not have any policies that prohibit religious content,” stated a spokesman.

The FCC does not have the authority to force YouTube to carry more faith-based content. However, the letter comes at a time when President Trump has vowed to fight what he calls “anti-Christian” bias. At the National Prayer Breakfast, Trump stated he would, “immediately halt all forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination within the federal government, including at the DOJ, which was absolutely terrible, the IRS, the FBI — terrible — and other agencies,” and that Attorney General Pam Bondi would, “fully prosecute anti-Christian violence and vandalism in our society and to move heaven and earth to defend the rights of Christians and religious believers nationwide.” Whether or not that would include granting the FCC authority to root out anti-Christian bias in broadcast is unclear, however Senator Ed Markey (D-Mass.) warned against such promises from the Trump Administration. “Far from defending the First Amendment, this is what censorship looks like: a regulator implicitly threatening private companies for their speech,” he warned. “The FCC under Trump is prepared to become the Federal Censorship Commission. We can’t let that happen.”
