  Everyone talking about how YouTube censors the word "slave" which is fucked up enough but no one noticed that they even censored the word "children"?

  I hate the censorship on YouTube.<br><br>Not only is it childish, but it’s downright tyrannical as it limits our ability to freely discuss serious and important topics like slavery and “sewer side” (deliberately misspelled to avoid the YouTube censorship algorithm).<br><br>I hate how YouTube has forced people to use euphemisms just to communicate.<br><br>The childish word, “unalived” is my least favorite euphemism frequently used on YouTube.<br><br>YouTube will even automatically delete any comment that mentions the name of its much less censored free speech alternative with the name that starts with “R” and sounds like bumble.

  i empathize with using language to subvert demonetization, but the censorship on this app is so grim. can&apos;t even accurately represent history. these are scary times.

  &quot;Censorship reflects a society’s lack of confidence in itself. It is a hallmark of an authoritarian regime.&quot;

  Anytime humans are seen as a commodity or as &apos;less than others&apos; rather than as fellow human beings that deserve kindness and consideration, horrible things happen.

  This ever-growing expansion of Forbidden Words is leading us straight to Newspeak from 1984.

  I find it weird YouTube doesn&apos;t like the word &quot;slave&quot;, especially when slavery is just as prevalent today as it was in the 19th century, so does that mean anyone doing any sort of documentary of historic or modern slavery either have to censor themselves, use euphemisms or simply have to face demonetisation simply to make content on the topic?
