I'm not who you've been talking to, but I can't help but laugh at this exchange.

>Censorship is going around to all the platforms and forcing them to remove content which has already been or is on the way to being displayed to the public.

No, actually, that isn't the definition. You guys just had a back and forth on this. You're artificially trying to limit the definition of "censorship" to fit your sentiment because your sentiment is not based in objective reality.

While I would agree with you that YouTube should not be compelled by law to host any content and can censor whatever they want (and we can, and should, refuse to use YouTube to host our videos and inform ourselves), it is still censorship, plain and simple.

You are conflating discretion and censorship.

If you send me a DM asking me to repeat your claims in a public-facing comment, and I refuse, that is not censorship. Ditto for any and every private entity which exists.
