YouTube censorship
When is free speech not free speech? An American blogger put together a short video at the time of the Mohammed carton kerfufle and has been on YouTube since then. Until 2 weeks ago when "someone" complained and it got pulled.
Said blogger was not amused and asked YouTube (in the form of a YouTube video) to say exactly which bit violated the terms and conditions. They havent replied.
I have to say that considering there is a war on, not being able to discuss it doesnt really advance things. It doesnt protect people, in fact the complete opposite, a stand for free speech must be taken
Just my 2p
And a phone in that is classic US radio

To be honest, it is not YouTube's responsibility to provide a forum for free speech. In fact, free speech is a privilege that we in the West have become accustomed to see as a "right". If they see fit, it is entirely reasonable and just for them to pull any material that they wish.
