that doesn't make sense, it's a reaction video to his getting the boot. Wasn't B referring to a video that caused the banning?

It's not censorship. Companies can make whatever rules they want and boot whomever they want.
I understand that Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are so widely used that it feels like censorship, but it's not.

I think they are establishing a precedent, and will use it more frequently in the future. It's concerning that this seemed coordinated as well.

He looked the same twenty years ago. He will probably look the same on twenty years.
