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.

    Yes, but YouTube still shouldn't have to give up their freedoms. The sermonizer's freedoms shouldn't come at the expense of the freedoms of other people.
