> 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.
