I specifically didn't address YouTube's legal right to censor anything and everything they want. That is (most likely) their prerogative, although there are some pending legal challenges. I was talking about the cultural danger of censoring certain types of speech, particularly when the matters at play involve inalienable rights enshrined in our Constitution. Again, if it is considered socially acceptable to censor pro-2A speech, we are a social regime-change away from justifying the censorship of pro-4A or 1A speech, or practically anything else.

Did you not understand that? If you don't see the irony and danger here, it's only because you agree with the censors, but that only lasts as long as it lasts.
