Have you read the HN guidelines? Most rules have nothing to do with legality, and @dang moderates HN on a best-effort basis to ensure quality discussion.

Presumably, you don’t notice you’re on a moderated platform, but HN is very much not an unmoderated free-for-all.

HN isn't really a social platform, IMHO. I'm not connecting with my friends here, I'm talking with all sorts of random people. I absolutely notice it's moderated, and I wouldn't be here if it wasn't.

If this is your “line in the sand”, why are we arguing about YouTube? I cannot believe you connect with your friends there…
