> And I am confused how anyone here was silenced. This person's views, and the views of everyone who objects, and the views of everyone who objects to the objection, are all public. The video is easily available.

Sure, and it's been reposted on YouTube. My point is that the exact same powers that are allowing online hordes of folks to say "I don't like this" are also making it difficult to actually censor the viewpoint that isn't being liked. This is only a bad development if you're interested in censoring either of those. The best cure for bad speech is more speech!
