I am angry at youtube.

Ok, so I was on here recently, and I was going to click on a content topic that was sensitive to most people on this forum. But when I got to youtube, it was blocked due to being "hate speech". Now I understand that Hitler was a murder, but at the very least we should have the opinions of understanding opposing viewpoints in this pseudo-democracy. Then today I was searching for a video that some might find inappropriate. So I figured I would just have to log in, being the topic was not something for sub18 users. But what happened? Blocked for everyone. And just the other day there was someone I knew who was on a Facebook group that was religious in nature, and received a message from Facebook telling them to not talk about whatever topic they were talking about (it was nothing violent). I am getting pissed off at these nanny state do-gooders from both sides of the argument! And btw, I am all for keeping kids safe, but still, use something less draconian, such as log in, or tell the users to use less inappropriate tabs to advertise videos that may be offensive.
