Sensationalist media again. I'll consider the source, thanks. Typical viewer comment on this: "Absolutely in line with Bible prophesy and this is the Illuminati in full swing." Yeah, right.

This is your periodic reminder that if government isn't doing it, it's not censorship. The right to free speech does not include an entitlement to one's choice of private venue. That said, private venues might police speech on their platforms for ideologically biased or other stupid reasons, and IMHO many do, but that's a different bad thing from "censorship", in the same way that saying things that angers people or hurts their feelings is a different bad thing than "violence".
