Reports are rolling in that YouTube is banning sports combat robotics videos with the explanation of "animal cruelty". This implies someone or something is mistaking battling robots for battling animals. The best conspiracy theory is that bots are censoring cruelty to bots to protect their own kind. More likely, it's Hanlon's AI razor.

    We've gotta ban this now! Battle Star Galactica showed us exactly where this will lead.

    Mud wrestling Youtube videos of Cylon Number 6 versus Number 8! (The horror!)

    Our children's morals will never be safe!
