The evening after the massacre at Orlando's Pulse nightclub, a California pastor took the opportunity to preach that "God said: When you find a sodomite, put them to death.'" A video of the sermon was uploaded by the church, then deleted "for violating YouTube's policy on hate speech." A copy of the video uploaded by someone else, describing the sermon as "despicable," was allowed to remain.

It's not like this type of hypocrisy isn't widespread, but fuck if you don't look like some pandering shits in the face of it.

As usual with large corporations its not hypocrisy, just the effect of having a PR team. Any other time and that fool's rants would still be up.

Censorship of non-copyrighted material on YouTube is frequent and random. This story means nothing.

There is no such thing as non-copyrighted material. On YouTube or anywhere else.
The moment you create something in a fixed tangible medium of expression, such as a digital file, it has copyright. Not when you first think it. But the moment it is in fixed tangible form such as written down, recorded, etc.
If I make a video of myself picking my nose, I have a copyright on that video instantly. If I upload it to YouTube, I still have a copyright on it. By uploading it, I have authorized YouTube to be able to play it. You have no permission to use my video unless you have something called a "License".
The word "license" means "permission". Like fishing license. Hunting license. Drivers license. Dog license. Liquor License. Copyright License. Patent License. Etc.
A license (eg, permission) may be obtained sometimes for payment by using an Agreement (or Contract). The agreement may state that certain conditions must be met in order for the license to be valid. Such as the payment of money in exchange for a license (aka "consideration"). Such as you can only play the video on days of the week ending in "y", and only in quiet locations. Other times a license is given without an agreement or consideration, as long as you comply with the terms of the license, such as open source or creative commons licenses.
The anti vax hysteria didn't stop, it just died down.

The one about Palestine is just. It isn't nice living in an open prison and getting shot randomly and getting bombed and being burned alive.
