“The Court finds that the First Amendment claim is unlikely to succeed on the merits because Google and YouTube are not state actors,” Judge Trina Thompson wrote in the order. “Second, Plaintiff was not, and will not, be irreparably harmed if a temporary restraining order is not issued because he does not demonstrate urgency or that he will not be able to share his videos through other sites and methods.”
