Zenaan, while I don't appreciate all the Daily Stormer links that you're always leaving here, you managed to make me upset with this story.
The Z.g <ahem> will take that as a mathematical complement.
I was on YouTube a lot during its early years (i.e. the 2000s), and it was like a beacon of freedom when compared to how it is now. I always think that the rampant censorship on the site cannot get any worse, now that things as commonplace as "insulting language" are against the site's rules, but every now and then (like today, with this article) I hear news of yet another way that censorship on YouTube has increased.
Apologies for rambling; I just have some very fond memories of the old, free YouTube, and it troubles me greatly whenever I learn that free speech on the site has been restricted yet again. (I don't care what Twitter, Facebook, and every other social media site does, but, please, leave YouTube be...)
Aye. We must replace it one day.
