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.

i would like to point out that youtube is a private institution. also, this pastor has not been arrested, charged, put in jail or even told, "hey, you can't say that!" the only thing youtube did was remove it from their site for violating the terms of service.

Indeed one must not forget about that.
You do not put video on the internet using youtube.
You put video into youtube and they are so kind to grab some rights over it and let people watch it, if you are nice.
But the point still remains, relevant quiz:
Q. YouTube motto is...?
1. Broadcast yourself
2. All your video are belong to us
3. Skip this ad in 5..4..3..2..1.. *click*
