content: Seems to be an instant flag for their "team" to do a manual review when I get this first.Happens all the time on notices from "The Daily Wire" where Andrew Klavan loves posting provocative titles, the only difference being their videos always remain banned to suite YT political bias.** Edit seems it's back again

content: Hmm one of my former employers that is responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of people is still going strong on there. But you know, upload a video with the word “weapons” in it and banned.

content: Well, looking at the comments "weapons" is still up, so it looks like Dave was taken in by bullshit.Of course, a few of the right wing nutjobs have come out among the comments, peeing themselves with glee that their predictions of "PC" dictatorship are coming true, but they are ever with us!

content: I ditched my youtube account when I got a mail from youtube trying to persuade me to change my user name because they thought it was "unpronounceable" or some other bull. That may have been 8 years ago.Translation:Now look at that! Facebook removed my profile picture.
