Only thing I know is that they won’t allow certain black metal band covers that have swastikas in their covers. Which is perfectly fine IMO - that stuff can stay below ground.

    Well, the phrase "I think that workers should own the means of production" indeed do not sounds as bad for me as "I think some ethnical groups are inferior and we should get rid of them". I perfectly understand banning the second phrase and not the first one.

    Communist imagery isn't commonly associated with genocide in the US nor is it actively being used to promote genocide in the US, so this makes sense.

    Are you really comparing communists with nazis?

  That second one is demonstrably searchable (he gets all of the top 5 results) and not banned. Maybe a bug, maybe an erroneous DMCA takedown that was reversed; who knows. Where's the political persecution? As for the other guy, I'll just leave you his own video on the subject to help you decide on your own whether his story makes any sense: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlmGvQln2Aw&t=835s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlmGvQln2Aw&t=835s (My opinion: he deleted his own tracks to generate a fake persecution controversy. The absolute lunacy of what appears to be a white guy insisting that they banned him because he's mixed-race is ... fascinating.)
