At one point Hollywood self censored depictions of same sex couples, transgender folks and even interracial marriages.

Is that really the side you want to root for?

Freedom of speech - not only as a legal value but an ethical one - is the only basis on which we can avoid letting a dominant voice shut out unloved truths.

Please avoid making this argument, it's a false equivalence. Youtube is not self-censoring those things.

If you want me to ask a similarly misleading line of questioning based only on trying to draw false equivalence from principles: Currently Youtube is self-censoring porn. Is the side of "youtube should become a porn site" really the side you want to root for?

I think you don't understand what false equivalence is.

> False equivalence is a logical fallacy in which an equivalence is drawn between two subjects based on flawed or false reasoning.

Are you suggesting Youtube, a media company, and Hollywood, a collection of media companies, are somehow not comparable?

No. I don't want to continue this discussion based on this line of questioning, sorry. Let's be good people and not fight, I'm sure you're a kind soul.
