They don't want to become liable for any illegal behavior and end up having to pay a fine. They don't want to be associated with any political stance that might not agree with the vast majority of the population because they want to have as many clients as possible. |

Wasn't there a scandal a few months ago where YouTube was classifying videos talking about LGBTQ issues as adult content, and demonetizing them? https://www.theverge.com/2018/6/4/17424472/youtube-lgbt-demo...
Is/was it the platform maintainers applying their own morals, or is it the money (advertisers) who don't want to be associated with these topics?
The walled gardens are already quite ridiculous, with FB censoring Michaelangelo's David and the Napalm Girl, giving us a kindergarten version of the Internet (although funnily enough, they can't censor fake news, so the "children"'s minds got brainwashed there).
This has turned to a bit of a pointless rambling.
