Sure... keeping all the rap that promotes murder, gang membership, robbery, crack and heroin dealing literally numbering into the hundreds of thousands of tracks on Youtube, and millions of other videos promoting the same and worse are totally fine to stay up there and this censoring totally has nothing at all to do with politics, right? I'm not for censoring any of the available music on Youtube but you cannot try and sit here and tell anyone that removing a track like this one, has anything to do with "reducing harm." This is silencing political free speech and I'd bet a ton of money the United States government has a line of communication with, and has told Google to remove content like this. "HackerNews" should consider changing the site name to something more along the lines of "LiberalGroupthinkingProgrammerNews"

/kill fake hackers.
