Yes, that whole freedom of speech thing is really a big pain in the ass, isn't it? Why didn't the founding fathers think further ahead and predict what Xman would find offensive? Not that I agree with this bullshit either, but it's not really freedom of speech if it isn't freedom of speech for ideas you don't agree with.
Wow, way to miss at least part of my point.
YouTube will jump all over themselves to get rid of anything with nudity in it. How about free speech for pornos? They yank down movies and TV shows as soon as they show up, no fuss, no muss.
So by disallowing that sort of thing, and allowing this, YouTube is giving defacto approval to this sort of thing. It's not a free speech issue at all.
So based on your line of thinking, ATT should be tried as terrorists because they own the IP address for Al Jazeera's website? Damn that free speech thing again....WE NEED A DECIDER FOR TEH INTERWEB!
