I'm expecting this to disappear from HN as well, unfortunately.
And your expectation came true. Front page then no page.

Meh. It's a private platform. They don't have to give any excuses for blocking a video. Is it de facto censorship? Maybe. But I think we as a society agree that social media platforms have a responsibly to censor harmful content in order to protect the public.

I don't know a gentle, polite way to point out that you've hit every platitude in its most thoughtless, vacuous form: - You can still disagree with a private company - We as a society are thoroughly divided on that, and many disagree that issues of rights and morality are decided democratically - Political speech you disagree with has value

Apparently the 'misinformation' trope has extended into art. Many of you defending censorship in the last few years (and very much so on HN) on political grounds are going to be changing your minds in the coming years due to stuff like this.
I also have a great deal of dread that we will not. We are not guaranteed to have nice things, and a few bad actors can do quite a lot of harm.

When songs promote robbing Asian people YouTube says “ In a memo to staff explaining the rationale for not barring the YG video, management wrote: “We’ll start by saying we find this video to be highly offensive and understand it is painful for many to watch, including many in Trust & Safety and especially given the ongoing violence against the Asian com…
Edit: People keep responding to this comment claiming that the video didn't feature an impeach biden shirt, then deleting their comments when they realized what they saw was a video using the same name exploiting the fact that the real video is hidden. :) If you feel the urge to make that reply, instead just update this counter instead:
